Osiris    The great god of the dead, designated as "Osiris, who is at the head of the west, Wennefer" is placed in a very selective area, such that any incoming visitor coming into the tomb cannot miss it. Osiris is seated under a kiosk which is extremely colourful and contains large heavily decorated supporting columns (the left hand one is almost lost), in accordance with the strange taste of the Ramesside period. The roof of the kiosk is decorated with upright solar cobras, with a coving at the front. At the top of the column is also decorated with two cobras, adding more to the great many on the roof. The column is composed of a multiple of symbols. Between the columns is stretched a deep red cloth decorated with hexagons, which, at its upper edge is a large multicoloured floral motif. Osiris is seated on a richly decorated cubic throne, with a frieze of cobras surmounting a decorated facade of a palace. The god has green skin, the colour of vegetation, and ...

a band of multicoloured rectangles. It is comprised of groups of two multicoloured djed pillars separated by two columns of badly preserved text, initially black on yellow base, giving the titles of the deceased or members of his family.  2) - Upper register  The processional barque of Khonsu returns to its sanctuary of Ermant. It arrives in front of the pylons of the temple. They all stand on sacred ground, identified as such because all of the officiants wear sandals. The barque is borne by eight priests who have the shaven skull and their chest crossed by a white strap. A band is tied around their long loincloth. They have come with "High-priest of Montu, Ramose" , who walks at their side, clothed in a panther skin, worn over a long golden kilt, with a white one under that  [NB: one knows for this character two statues : one in the Chicago Art Institute (no 20264) and, since November 2013, a second statue found in the temple of Montou at Ermant Two priests w...

Nothing much has survived. On the left is the remains of an area of water surrounding a square-shaped island on which would have taken place the rituals on the mummy. To the right, the area is divided into two sub-registers. Here more detail has survived. This sketch is a reminder of the image found in tomb TT222, a very damaged and burned tomb dating from the 18th Dynasty but usurped by Heqamaatrenakht - nicknamed Turo - in the 20th Dynasty (probably under Ramesses IV). This character, as well as his sons, were also priests of Montu. At the top, a funeral barque floats on a pond where lotuses, whose flowers are open or closed, are represented. It is known that this is a way of representing both states of the deceased, life and lethargy. The internal part of the rectangular water area is paler to indicate the slope of the bank of the island, where numerous plants are growing. A small flight of steps, located bottom left, allows visitors to gain a foothold onto the island a...

a) - The sacred barque Above the wooden building which protects the portable barque is the representation of the vulture goddess Nekhbet, who, with outstretched wings, holds in each claw an amulets in the shape of the 'Shenu' sign and a large feather of Ma'at. The craftsman included decoration on the lateral supports of the chapel. The coving of the chapel is decorated with a row of upright solar cobras, beneath which is a winged solar disk evoking Horus-Behedeti (very similar to Nekhbet). These constitute the two emblems which the kings of the Old Kingdom surrounded themselves when they left for war. The portable barque rests on a small chapel structure, but this has been partially concealed by another structure. This again has a row of cobras at the top, a coving and of other motifs. Below it are two scenes which show Thutmosis III and Ramesses II dedicating some offerings to Montu. In front of the full chapel structure (to the right) is the vizier Usermontu...

A priest, who has nearly disappeared completely, makes libation and incensement over the top of offerings placed on two monopodal tables. To the left is seated a man and three women. The text identifies them: "Making libation and incensement for the Osiris, the overseer of the livestock of Menkheperre, Khonsu, who is called To, justified" , "The mistress of the house, greatly praised by Hathor of Ermant (Iunu), May" , "His mother, the chantress of Montu, Lord of ..., Tauseret" and "His daughter, the chantress of Montu, Wiay" .

The scenes are  separate from the register below. It contains only a floral display of lotus blossoms in its upper part and a blue and white design below. These are bordered above and below with bright red motifs interrupted by dark red ones, the decorator obviously used the motifs which he thought worth viewing.  Khonsu and a woman (possibly his mother) were seated (now lost) in front of a table of offerings on which three tall lighted tapers (candles) separated by two cone-shaped lamps   the association between these cones made of grease (or tallow) with wicks and the slim taper ones. The red bands on them, which can be seen here, are probably made from another colourful grease, but they could also be bands of cloth intended to hold the structure together when burning. The aim of the scene is two-fold: the tapers serves to bring light, the wax candle to bring the lasting smell of smoke, which doesn't however replace that of the incense since, as here, ...

  Khonsu and the barque He , gives the place of honour to "His son, the high-priest of Montu, Lord of Tod, Khonsu, who brought into the world Tauseret" . He is in the same priestly garments as the ones which have just been described. He makes libation and incensement in front of the portable barque of Montu . The only difference is that he wears sandals, because he walks in the temple on the sanctified ground, represented white under his feet. Some food offerings are stacked on a low white table. The portable barque has been off-loaded and has been placed in the shrine of a chapel resting on a white solid base. The carrying bars can be easily seen, as well as the artificial sledge which rests on a chest decorated of two images of Pharaoh, whose arms are raised holding up the blue hieroglyph which represents the sky

  the welcome by priests Four priests are shown  dedicating offerings. The four sub-scenes are almost identical: only a bovine carcass at the feet of the first (left) breaks the monotony. It should also be noted that a dead ox is placed above the bows of the boats below, due to a lack of space. Each priest has a shaven skull and wears a panther skin over an original yellow tunic punctuated of red spots, which in turn covers a white tunic (or a loincloth). A red scarf is attached in the back, and a kind of pouch hangs from the belt . Each makes a fumigation of incense with the left hand and pours water from a vase in the shape of ankh cross with the right hand. The offerings are stacked on three pedestals whose feet are decorated with a garland of flowers. At the foot of the first three tables, a large lotisform chalice contains other foodstuffs (absent from the fourth, where the pile of offerings is smaller). The four men hold positions appropriate to the funerar...

 The portable barque of Montu   This navigates the Nile placed on the god's true river barque, pulled by two military vessels. Only the extremity of the kiosk can be seen, overhanging the divine chapel. In front of this stands two masts with banners, a reminder of those which are in front of the pylons of the temples, a way of showing that the barque is a floating temple and that the area where the divine statue is always "djeser" , meaning consecrated, or better, isolated Above is a large protective wing (one of a pair), perhaps representing the Behedety falcon (Horus of Edfu). Under the chapel, impossible to discern correctly on the photo, is Ramesses II, the reigning Pharaoh, who is dedicating some offerings to the god. At the prow of the barque, is found the remains of a falcon head of Montu associated with a large multicoloured necklace. Two characters are standing in front of the chapel. The scene is very damaged,  The first man, who makes with one hand a ...
