TOMB FIGURES

11 Bicycle Repair/Unicycle Riding Shabti and One Bicycle Repair/Unicycle Riding/Ninja Shabti. 

 

Shabti are Egyptian figurines that were buried with the deceased and believed to become animated in the “next world.”  The shabti would then assist the deceased with their life in the after-life.  These particular shabti will assist with bicycle repair and unicycle riding, as each shabti carries a crescent wrench and tire pump, and rides on a single wheel.
