The crudely worked shabti covered in black bitumen is inscribed in yellow paint for 'The Osiris Amen-mose, Justified'. This is likely to date from the Ramesside period (circa 1292-1069 B.C.). The name Amen-mose is very common, especially in the New Kingdom (cf. H. Ranke, Die ägyptischen Personennamen, vol. 1, Glückstadt, 1935, p. 29.).
The larger polychrome shabti, also dating to the New Kingdom, is inscribed for a woman named Ta-wah-Amun. This name is not listed in Ranke, but multiple individuals named Ta-wah-Amun (or the variant Ta-wahet-Amun) are attested on shabtis of the Late Period.
