The tomb of Pennut

The tomb of Pennut  

A procession enters the chapel from the outside. It consists of three men and six women, who, in making mourning gestures, all turn to the west. There, at the foot of the Western mountain, the mummy in its sarcophagus was stood upright at the entrance of the tomb, with a mourner at his feet (probably his wife) in the act of lamenting. Three priests officiate: a sem-priest makes a libation, the second officiant holds lotus flowers and a jar, the third is a lector priest who recites the formulas of the ritual of opening the mouth . Some of these formulas are given in the text above the scenes, which also includes the names and/or functions of the participants.
