NO.258 continued.

 

     The rubric included in Ch. CLI of the Book of the Dead which

refers to this figure and its brick (pedestal) roads as follows:

 

     "This formula is to be spoken over an Anubis of unbaked clay,

sprinkled(?) with incense, and fastened on a brick of clay on

which this formula has been graven. A hole is made for it

in the east wall, its face towards the west, and it is covered

up."

 

     A similar figure of Anubis was found in the Burial-chamber of

Thothmes iv. (insitu) in a niche cut in a square column on the

south side of the sarcophagus (= s. wall), and it faced north.
