Ziggurat Figurine is effectively an escape mechanism
Just last night I used it to escape from Anteus stabbing me in the eye with a trident, and then emerged to kill him and take the rune:
105631 | Coc:7 | Noticed Antaeus
105689 | Coc:7 | HP: 6/211 [Antaeus/trident of venom (12)]
105690 | Zig:1 | Entered Level 1 of a ziggurat
106209 | Coc:7 | Killed Antaeus
106214 | Coc:7 | Got an icy rune of Zot
I don't know if this is an intended use of this item, and I haven't seen any discussion about it. The "Dive/Clear Tomb" requirement is pretty hefty for the utility it provides but it's debatable that characters need another escape option. A simple "solution" if zig fig escapes are deemed unwanted is to restrict the items usage to the dungeon - Gozag's shop summon already works similarly.
