This Egyptian Book of the Dead, dated to 1050 BC, is a scroll dedicated to Nany, a singer of Amun. The artwork shows Nany before Osiris, the god of the underworld, offering him a lotus flower. The text is written in hieroglyphs and narrates the journey of the deceased through the afterlife. This is an example of the ancient Egyptian belief in an afterlife where the soul would be judged by Osiris. It is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art collection in New York City.
