An Egyptian wooden panel from the front of a mummy coffin.
The piece comprises three panels joined together by their original wooden rods. There are four registers of decoration. The uppermost register shows the Weighing of the Heart scene from the Hall of Judgement; the second register shows a kneeling goddess with outstretched protective wings; the third register shows Anubis performing the final embalming ritual for the owner, who is portrayed lying on a funerary bier which takes the form of a lion, flanked by Isis and her sister Nepthys kneeling with hands raised in a gesture of mourning; the fourth register shows the solar boat with Duamutef, Qebsenuef, Imsety and Hapi (guardians of the viscera) on the deck, with Horus at the prow holding a spear; all four registers are within a border decorated with a checkered and triangle motif.
