The Deceased in the Judgment Hall: Papyrus of Ani
A long papyrus scene joins the weighing of the deceased with a presentation before Osiris. Gods sit above the balance at the left, while the final shrine occupies the right. Tirard’s caption identifies the deceased in the Judgment Hall and specifically names the Papyrus of Ani. The whole register preserves the movement between the successive episodes.
