Drawing description

The deceased carries a bud over his head and wears a pleated garment. He raises his arms in adoration towards Ra-Horakhty-Atum, depicted sitting on a throne raised by a pedestal. The god has a mummified body and a falcon head, with a solar disc on the head which is encircled by an uraeus. The deity holds the the heqa-sceptre and the whip in his hands. Between the two figures is an offering table richly loaded with supplies (bread, fruit, meat), that also surmounts three exemplars of the sacred Osirian plants. The entire scene, completely drawn in black, is enclosed by a double-line, representing an architectural structure supported – on the only visible side – by a was-sceptre. Six columns of cursive hieroglyphic text are written above the scene.
