The figurine of a ziggurat is an evocable item which creates a portal to a ziggurat upon use, being consumed in the process. A single figurine is guaranteed in the third floor of the Tomb, while a figurine generates on the last, 27th, floor of each ziggurat.
The figurine serves a surprisingly useful secondary purpose: creating a ziggurat and jumping in is an effective escape route from danger. This takes two turns, and you could even meet a pan lord on the first floor, but Zig:1 is usually safer than whatever you were fighting. Be aware that you cannot place a portal on top of some dungeon features like shops and stairs, though deep water and lava are valid tiles. Also note that this application is limited in scope, as Tomb:3 and Zig:27 are often reserved for the very end of the game.
Figurines of a ziggurat cannot be used while inside a ziggurat:Finish your current ziggurat first!
Unlike all other evocable items, it can be evoked even after sacrificing Artifice to Ru.
