Often, the deceased of the Classic Kerma period was buried on a bed made from a wooden frame with leather straps. The feet could represent animal legs or be similar to modern angarebs. At the footend of the bed, a wooden plank possibly decorated with geometric patterns was carved in ivory, painted red and attached with a peg: here, in tombe 20 C, with three stars with four diamond-shaped points; in tomb 28, the stars are located beneath a frieze of sixteen triangles. In Kerma, some beds were decorated with processions of gods or with plant motifs.

Souvent, le défunt du Kerma Classique est inhumé sur un lit de bois, à la couche faite d'entrelacs de cuir. Les pieds peuvent être en forme de pattes d'animaux ou similaires aux "angarebs" modernes. Aux pieds, une planche de bois peut-être ornée de motifs géométriques taillés dans de l'ivoire, peints en rouge et fixés par des chevilles: ici dans la tombe 20 C, trois étoiles à quatre branches losangiques, et dans la tombe 28, les étoiles sont surmontées d'une frise de seize triangles. &Agrave; Kerma, certains lits portaient une procession de divinités, ou des motifs végétaux.
