  Figured bass - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Figured bass, or thoroughbass, is a kind of integer musical notation used to indicate intervals, chords, and nonchord tones, in relation to a bass note.
Figured bass is closely associated with basso continuo, an accompaniment used in almost all genres of music in the Baroque period.
The figured bass, therefore, was integral to the development of the Baroque, by extension the ”classical”, and by further extension most subsequent musical styles.

 Figured bass   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Figured bass is a kind of musical notation used to indicate chords in relation to a bass note.
Figured bass is most often found in basso continuo parts in Baroque music, where the harpsichordist, lutenist or whoever is playing the chords in the continuo part, will employ it.
A part notated with figured bass consists of a bass-line notated in the normal western manner (with notes on a musical staff) plus added numbers and accidentals beneath the staff to indicate at what intervals above the bass notes should be played, and therefore which inversions of which chords are to be played.

 Dolmetsch Online - Music Theory Online - Figured Bass
The main reason for showing it at all is that not only are the harmonies of the 'figured bass' realised but additional counterpoint is also added freely, a testament to what would have been expected from a keyboard player of the time.
It should be remembered that the figures give the contents of a chord and not their position on the stave.
Figured bass, with or without Roman numerals, identifies the notes above the actual bass note by the interval between that note and the actual bass note.

 Figured Ostraka
The largest group of such material comprises thousands of sketches, mainly in fl, or in fl and red, on medium to large limestone flakes from the workplace and village of Ramesside Period craftsmen working on the tomb of the king at Thebes (Deir el-Medina).
The subject matter varies greatly, and, without record of context or in instances of secondary deposition, function is often difficult to ascertain; often figured ostraca are interpreted as evidence for the training of artists, as in Deir el-Medina and the Ramesseum, but this is not made explicit by context or by accompanying writing.
In later periods the tomb of Djer was identified as the burial place of the god of the dead Osiris; excavations have uncovered votive offerings there from the New Kingdom and Third Intermediate Period, including pottery vessels inscribed with hieroglyphic or hieratic inscriptions and/or decorated with scenes of a person offering to Osiris.
