Spot the mourners throwing their arms up in grief. Between them a reed hovers in the air. In the Egyptian language the reed followed by a figure with arm raised spells ‘O’ (a lament) so the images depict the mourners’ grief stricken voices. Several important Egyptian deities are also depicted and the heads of apes which would worship the sun are just visible on the very bottom scene. B24.034.
