Description: | Wood linen and gesso panel (cartonnage body covering). The four scenes in descending order depict the winged scarab; the sky-goddess Nut with outstretched wings; the revival of the deceased by Anubis through the rites of mummification, in the presence of Nephthys and Isis in adoration; and the four sons of Horus. This is very similar to the cartonnage pieces in the British Museum from Armant discussed in Journal of Egyptian Archaeology 1931. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Rights holder: | University of Swansea, Egypt Centre | Subjects: | [none] | Temporal: | 332 B.C.-32 B.C.
