Summary/Abstract: This paper aims to present three Egyptian statuettes of the shaubti (ushabti germ.) type found in the excavations of the Roman settlement of Aquincum (Pannonia Inferior). The first one is dated in the 26thDynasty (also known as the Saite Dynasty, Inv. no. 6433) and is covered in dark green glaze in which rows of hieroglyphic scripts are inscribed recording usual sacred texts. The second two are rather not sufficiently well preserved but can be dated roughly in Graeco-Roman period (Inv. no. 6434 and respectively Inv. no. 6435).
