Description

Painted cartonnage fragment with a central column of text, facing right. Six deities flank the text, Imsety (l) and Hapi (r) at the top, Duamutef (l) and Qebehsenuef (r) in the middle, and Isis (l) and Nephthys (r) at the bottom. The text ultimately derives from PT356/368/446/588, and reads "Words spoken by the honored one before Osiris, Foremost of the Westerners, Lord of Busiris, the Great God, Lord of Abydos, Osiris, True of Voice. Your mother Nut has spread herself over you, in her name of Shetet-Pet." Framed in a glass.
