Ahmose-shabti-head.png‎ (150 × 160 pixel, file size: 56 KB, MIME type: image/png)

[edit] Summary

The head of the shabti of the pharaoh Ahmose I. Image is derived from photo of original held in the British Museum. This is believed to be fair use to illustrate the person represented by it, and thus is fair use only in Ahmose I. The British Museum does not allow photos taken for commercial use. The Brooklyn Museum which has one of the two known life sized statues also does not allow photos taken for commercial use. The policy of the Khartoum Museum which holds the other life sized statue is unclear. Given these circumstances, this image is not considered reasonably replaceable at this time.
