What is this statue of Ushabti?

First of all, it might be a bookend not a statue because it has a flat back.

Second, I'm not sure of the maker's name. It looks like Favinite to me but I'm not sure because nothing comes up in a search for that.

On the back it says "Copyright 1926 Polly Roe. And nothing comes up in a search for that name.

Ushabti is the only thing that has come up in a search. That's worker statues in Egyptian tombs. On the bottom front it says "He will do all your work".

Anybody have anything on this? Thanks!

 

King Tut's Tomb was all the rage since its 1922 discovery. Maybe Polly Roe wanted to cash in with a Billiken-like figure of housework.

Let's see a better image of the subject itself.

The artist Lee Woodward Ziegler. He was married to Mary Stuart Roe who I assume was Polly.

I just got back and don't have the time to set up my photo box. I'll get some more pics tomorrow.

I was hoping that this angle would help with and image search. It may be one of the few that remains and has a place in an obscure humorist's collection.
