Henuttauy ushabty container

This box is richly decorated on all sides. The characteristic protective deities of the afterlife, which generally appear on grave goods, are represented: the four sons of Horo, in a standing position, and the goddesses Nephthys and Isis on the two short sides, surmounted by a large eye-udjat, kneeling in the act of symbolically weeping on the deathbed of the god Osiri. A vertical hieroglyphic inscription appears in the centre of the long side.
