Description: | Wooden footboard from a coffin with black and white Apis bull. Painted red on black. The inscription states this was made for the Lady of the House and Chantress of Amun, Tjesmutperet, daughter of Nespaset. 27cm wide. The Apis bull was put on private coffins from the 22nd Dynasty. Bonnet (RAeRG p. 49) states that the Apis scene originated in 'the Running of the Apis ritual', in which offerings were seen as emanations of the god, and hence were called "body parts of the god". This was connected with Osiris and his body parts so that the Apis became a carrier of the deceased. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Rights holder: | University of Swansea, Egypt Centre | Subjects: | [none] | Temporal: | 1069 B.C.-332 B.C.
