Overseer Ushabti Ancient Egyptians believed that life went on even after one’s death. This means that even though the deceased could enjoy peaceful rest, they would still have to farm the fields and provide nourishment to themselves. To avoid doing any hard work in the afterlife, wealthy elites and royalty originally buried human servants in graves with them. https://learn.ncartmuseum.org/artwork/overseer-ushabti/
