The Global Egyptian Museum

Fragmento de sarcófago correspondiente al fondo del mismo sobre el que se apoyaba la momia. En la cara interior aparece una divinidad femenina de frente, desnuda, con los brazos caidos, peluca hathorica y el signo jeroglífico de su nombre sobre la cabeza: se trata de la diosa del occidente que acogía a los difuntos en la necrópolis. Bajo los pies se han dibujado  dos signos "shen" que  evocan el circuito diario del sol, su renovación y su resurrección. En la cara externa aparecen inscripciones que relatan la fórmula de ofrendas. Se menciona al Osiris de Heracleopolis Magna, lugar de donde debe proceder este  fragmento de sarcófago.

Fragment of the bottom of a Sarcophagus, on which the mummy lay. The inner face shows a naked, front-on female divinity with hanging arms, wig and the hieroglyphic sign of her name over her head: this is the goddess of the west that welcomed the deceased into the necropolis. Two signs "shen" have been drawn under her feet to evoke the daily circuit of the sun, its renewal and resurrection. The outer face has some inscriptions narrating the offering formula. Mention is made of Osiris of Herakleopolis Magna, where this sarcophagus fragment must have come from.
