THE SHROUD REMOVED

From the 18th Dynasty Tomb of Montuhirkhepeshef at Thebes

An unique portrayal appears in this tomb scene showing the tekenu in a prone position on his sledge without his shroud. He is being pulled by three priets and is followed by four men who pull a large chest that contains oils and ungents for use in the "Opening of the Mouth" ceremony.
