Amulet van steatiet in de vorm van een hart. De Egyptenaren geloofden dat het hart de zetel was van alle intelligentie en daden. Omdat het ook de plaats was van de herinneringen van de dode werd het hart gewogen op het moment van het oordeel. Het hart was het enige orgaan dat in het lichaam achterbleef gedurende de mummificering. Dit exemplaar en drie andere harten (1967.60.32q, s & v) waren oorspronkelijk op het lichaam gebonden, maar er zijn alleen fragmenten van de draad overgebleven.

Amulette en stéatite en forme de coeur. Les Égyptiens considéraient le coeur comme le siège de l'intelligence et l'initiateur de toute action. Également garant de la mémoire, il était pesé au moment du jugement osirien. Il était le seul organe laissé à l'intérieur du corps momifié. Cette amulette-coeur était placée sur le corps, enfilée conjointement avec trois autres. Du fil, il ne subsiste que des fragments.

Ein Steatitamulett in Form eines Herzens. Für die Ägypter galt das Herz als Sitz des Verstandes und als Ursprung der Handlungen, und da es auch die Erinnerungen bewahrte, war es das Organ, das beim Totengericht gewogen wurde. Das Herz war das einzige Organ, das bei der Mumifizierung im Körper verblieb. Dieses und drei weitere Herzen (1967.60.32q, s & v) auf der Mumie waren ursprünglich zusammen auf eine Schnur aufgezogen gewesen, von der jedoch nur Reste erhalten sind.

Amuleto in steatite a forma di cuore. Gli Egizi ritenevano che il cuore fosse la sede dell'intelligenza e dell'azione, e che contenesse la memoria. Per questo era l'organo che veniva pesato al momento del giudizio. Il cuore era l'unico organo che rimaneva all'interno del corpo durante il processo di mummificazione. Questo e gli altri tre cuori (1967.60.32q, s & v) trovati sul corpo erano originariamente legati assieme ma solo alcuni frammenti della corda sono sopravvissuti.

Amuleto em esteatite com forma de coraçao. Os Egípcios acreditavam que o coraçao era o alicerce da inteligência e o responsável pelas atitudes e, uma vez que continha as memórias do morto, era o coraçao que que era pesado no momento do julgamento. O coraçao era o único orgao que permanecia dentro do corpo durante a mumificaçao. Este amuleto e os outros (1967.60.32q, s & v) três coraçoes colocados sobre o corpo estavam originalmente unidos por fio, do qual apenas alguns fragmentos chegaram até hoje.
