Egyptian Faience is Green or Greenish blue, not brown. It is a paste made of crushed Malachite or Copper. It is fired up like ceramics. Yet... A Brown Faience Shabty - probably made of Nile Mud, appeared on the market....

A Shabty is a Servant in the Afterlife. Lord Osiris demands work from idle spirits so this substitute for burying live servants with the King came into vogue. This one came with a plastic stand and "inscription."
