Descrizione

This funerary papyrus provides a standardized iconographical composition reproduced on several contemporary documents from the 21st Dynasty. Such documents provide an extreme development of the trend detected in this period to replace entire sections of texts by simple images or symbols. We propose a symbolic reading of the scenes depicted on the papyrus which can also be helpful to understand the funerary rituals that were in use in the Theban necropolis during the 21st Dynasty.
