Offerings in the centre of wall 16
 |
This photograph shows a detail of the offering table, on to top of which are round loaves of bread, ribs, a duck, and some leeks, to name but some of the items. All these devices (pictures, lists) act particularly as an 'insurance policy' in case the real offerings which would have been left for the dead couple failed to materialise. They would magically come alive for them through these paintings, and the rituals would then take place via the accompanying hieroglyphic texts. |
