Figures tucked in between the layers of a mummy's wrapping are often amulets or small statues, known as "funerary figurines" or "ushabti." These items were included in the burial as part of ancient Egyptian beliefs, serving to protect the deceased and assist them in the afterlife. They were often inscribed with spells or symbols to ensure safe passage and provide for the individual's needs in the afterlife.
