| A soul brought to Osiris for judgment. From a painting in a Book of the Dead. |
 |
The god Osiris holds the crook and the
whip, emblems of authority. Behind him stand two goddesses, wife and
sister of Osiris. The Book of the Dead is more properly called
Spells of Coming Forth by Day, and was designed as a guide to help
the dead in the afterlife. The book remained popular well into the Roman
period. |
