Osiris on a throne worshipped by Isis and Nephthys

Osiris seated in the round inside a chapel. On his head is the Atef crown with sun disk, horns and urei. In his hand he holds the heka sceptre and the nekhekh scourge. In front of him the sons of Horus: Duamutef with jackal head, Hapi with monkey head, Imset with human head, Qebehsenuf with bird of prey head. They are the deities in charge of protecting the internal organs of the deceased (personification of the canopic jars) and are depicted sprouting from a lotus flower evoking the moment of creation when the flower emerged from the primordial ocean Nun, here symbolised by the base of the god's throne painted blue. As sons of Horus the Elder, they are primordial and solar deities. In the centre of the chapel's lunette is the hieroglyphic of the west with arms and hands clasping sceptres was. On the right and left are two jackals with nekhekh scourges. On the left are visible Isis and Nephthys worshipping.
