You are thinking of the "servant" figurines placed in tombs to perform all kinds of manual work on behalf of the deceased person in the afterlife. These figurines are variously called ushabtis, shawabtis or shabtis (hieroglyphs wSHb = to answer). Their primary purpose was to "answer" the spirit of the dead person and do whatever work was needed, just like a real servant.

I think you mean ushabtis or shabtis. They don't always hold farm tools.
