Isis and Nephthys mourning for Osiris

Hieroglyphic Papyrus Book of the Dead; Late Period, 2nd Century BC; from Thebes | Two female deities kneel facing each other with arms raised in adoration. Between them rises a large red solar disk resting upon a pedestal or shrine, from which hangs or emanates red elements separated by a series of ankh, djed, and was-scepter (powerful symbols of life, stability, and divine authority, often associated with Osiris and the promise of resurrection and eternal life).
