Abstract

The linen sheet SR 4/2373 = JE 46951 of the Chantress of Amen Tayuheret has its length decorated with a large size image of Osiris in his form as king of the afterlife with his royal insignia. This type of sheet was broadly used by the priests and priestesses of Amen during the Twenty-First Dynasty. The sheet, which is today on display in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo, was found in 1881 in the Deir el Bahari Royal Cache DB 320. Similar to parallels of the same period, this sheet was used as the penultimate layer that was found wrapped around the mummy of the priestess who was likely a first degree relative -wife and/or sister- of a High Priest of Amen and who served a high position in the Khenrt/Khnrwt, an important priestly institution of the said period. The current work is an original publication of this linen sheet.
