ii. 290 n. o. Sir W. M. Flinders Petrie 'Funereal Figures in Egypt' in Ancient
Egypt 1916 pp. 151 —162 draws attention to the existing African custom of treasuring in
the family the head of the deceased father and uses it to elucidate certain sepulchral
practices of the ancient Egyptians. He shows that in many burials of prehistoric times
the head was removed and later replaced in the grave, if not lost or buried elsewhere ;
that in tomb-shafts of the fourth dynasty a stone image of the head was provided in case
the actual head should be lost or injured ; that at the break-up of the Old Kingdom a stone
image of the mummy came into vogue; and that the addition of hands, arms, etc. led on
to the fully developed ushabti figures of the seventeenth and following dynasties.
