Best Answer

Ushabti were small statues depicting slaves and servants, which were placed in a grave along with other grave goods. The egyptians believed that they would come to life in the underworld and help the deceased with anything he or she could possibly need, also should the deceased be called upon to do manual labour while in the underworld his ushabti would do this instead.

What was an Egyptian answerer?

Ushabti: a small image (made often of clay) that was buried with an important person. The image represented a servant (or many of them) who would accompany the person into the next life. When the person was required by the gods to do something, he or she would call upon the Ushabti, who would answer, "I am here." Ushabti means "answerer."
