Abstract
Alongside statues in the strict sense of the word, there are effigies of a particular type that can also be consecrated in a sanctuary. These are what Jean Yoyotte called " pocket statues ", the chaouabtys " extra-sepulchral ", deposited near the entrances to the Osiriandouat . Several recent studies have enabled us to better characterize and contextualize these images, which also opens the way to understanding their specific features.
Knowledge of ancient Egyptian essential.
