Rectangular painted panel on paper showing a facsimile-like depiction of a sarcophagus side with multiple standing, mummiform deities/figures and symmetrical wing-like elements framing the central figure.

The image depicts a long, rectangular composition with a border of hieroglyphic text-like bands around the edges and larger interior registers. In the center, a standing, human-like mummiform figure is shown in pale color against a red background. On either side, two additional standing figures are visible, also mummiform and facing inward. Large, feathered wing motifs extend diagonally from the sides toward the center, suggesting protective wings framing the central scene. The overall look is consistent with a painted facsimile/record rather than a carved sarcophagus surface: the background is uniformly pinkish-red, figures are outlined/filled in a flat, tempera-like manner, and the hieroglyphic bands appear as stylized printed/drawn signs rather than chiseled relief. No clearly legible cartouche or royal name is visible at this resolution. Greek/Coptic/Arabic text is not evident. Identifiable deities are not specified with certainty; the figures could represent gods or genii associated with funerary protection, but specific names cannot be confidently extracted.
