Some Book of the Dead papyri were placed unrolled on top of the body.
Scrolls could also be placed outside of the coffin within containers that are sometimes shaped as the Tosokar Osiris statues.
What are they, Yekaterina?
So it's a combination of three gods.
The Egyptian religion is broad.
and complicated and what I like to call morphe.
Because gods morph one into another and join together.
And so the god Ta, a creator god, the god Sokar, a primordial god of rebirth, and Osiris, the god of the underworld, who, according to Egyptian beliefs, was really the first entity to die, be mummified.
and become reborn into the afterlife.
They join together into this wonderful deity whose images sometimes contained Book of the Dead scrolls.
Yes, absolutely.
And again, depending on the fashion of the time, the location, where the papyrus was made, and also how much funds a person could spend.
They sometimes contain only texts and sometimes were brightly decorated with brightly colored vignettes.
And in a very few cases, they also have gilding.
Great question.
So the Book of the Dead of Ankmerwer was first acquired in Egypt
by actually a British physician named Henry Abbott.
He lived in Cairo and worked as a doctor and collected close to 2,000 Egyptian antiquities.
He had a really good eye and was apparently friends with a lot of Egyptologists.
He doesn't seem to have studied or been a scholar, so to speak, but he amassed a large collection
