Funeral rites and offerings

Upper register: a theory of men in white skirts, the last brandishing a stick with which he drives two pairs of cattle tied by the horns towards the goddess Imentet. Middle register: three papyrus boats. From the left: a man and a woman are seated on the prow of a first boat; on the second is a ribbed stele on either side of which stand two female figures in white dress and headdress; on the third are a mummiform figure and a man in a white skirt holding a heart in his left hand and an animal paw in his right. Lower register: on a papyrus boat is a funerary bed, on it is a sarcophagus. Behind the sarcophagus are three male figures, probably officiating priests and embalmers. On either side of the sarcophagus are two female figures in a long white dress: Isis and Nephti; on a wooden boat (right) are three rowers, a pilot (bow) and a helmsman.
