A prayer for Ushabti
I see this a lot, people obtain ushabti via eBay, antique stores etc.
It is, and I cannot stress the personal just me nature enough here(as in you DO NOT have to believe or do this)
That if you obtain this servant you inherit some responsibility to it's original owner. You have a precious link to a soul, a person,an akh, that has been forgotten. I feel the ushabti though through heka, would remember its master, even though the living have forgotten. So here is a prayer of offering ithought up for this situation
If it a legitimate burial good and not a repro here is what I'd do.
It may be the only link that spirit has left,as it's tomb may have been destroyed long ago
Say unto it " I offer you bread, water, and all things good the gods live on. Take these offerings to your master who isno more forgotten, but is in my heart my ancestor. May they look kindly upon me and their heart be refreshed by my work, may they be beneficial to me as a father is beneficial to his son who cares for him in the cult place to further his ka"
