If any trace remained of the figure of the god in
the next scene, we should find him represented with
a hawk's head, and standing, his name being Sokaris.
This was one of the forms of Osiris—

The offering consists of *~>~« Q <=>, a vase of water,
probably the kind called nem or kun. The water is
poured over the head of the god.
In the last scene, which is at the further end of the
wall, was the god Phtah in a shrine. The queen
opens a window at the top of this shrine, and takes
away a covering which is probably a veil. The scene
is entitled

Behind the queen, whose name has been erased, are
these words:

She rises on the throne of Horus eternally

a vertical inscription to the right of these signs are the

The western wall has not been reproduced. It bears
three scenes. Nearest to the door the queen offers
holy oil to Anubis. Next she presents cakes to the
same god ; and lastly she burns incense before Amon
Ea.
