Answer:

These statues (typically made of wood or stone) were placed in tombs as a resting place for the ka, or spirit, of the person after death. Other sculptural works served as funerary art, accompanying the deceased in burial tombs with the intention of preserving life after death.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is believed that it will allow the deceased to be revived as a spirit after death. (Hope this helps!) :)
