Description: | Cartonnage showing the deceased being led before Osiris. Osiris is on the left with Isis standing behind him. Thoth in Ibis form is leading the deceased (a woman wearing a perfume cone). Thus, from left to right we have Isis, Osiris, Thoth, the deceased. Between Osiris and Thoth is the imiut fetish a fetish taking the form of a headless animal and which was associated with Anubis. You can just see the hand of Nepythys behind Isis on the left. Osiris is mummiform and wears the atef crown and holds a crook and flail. The column of writing in front of Isis reads 'An offering which the king gives to Isis'. In front of Thoth are three columns reading 'An offering which the king gives to Re-Horakhty-Atum, Lord of the Two lands'. From the 21st Dynasty Re-Horakhty-Atum gradually replaced Osiris in the offering formula. The other two columns are more badly damaged but seem to be offering formula. Part of winged scarab appears at the top of the scene. This piece measures 25.5x14cm. It goes with EC1057. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Rights holder: | University of Swansea, Egypt Centre | Subjects: | [none] | Source: | Egypt Centre | Identifier: | http://www.egyptcentre.org.uk/index.asp?... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
