Ceremonies on the anniversary of the burial of Thutmosi I (detail)

Upper register: procession of servants with offerings and ceremonial objects for the deceased ruler. Lower register: on the right is the cult statue of Thutmosi I, identified by the cartouches in front of the face (Aakheperkara - Thutmosi). The black colour of the limbs and face would indicate an ebony statue, the hair is blue and a false beard is applied to the chin. The statue is placed on a sledge pulled by some men (left), above them are women in an attitude of veneration. Two priests with flails are on either side of the sovereign (the one on the right is almost completely lost).
