The Opening of the Mouth Ceremony Greeting Card

Ancient Egyptian greeting card, blank inside for your message. The back of the card features an image of the original art and a brief description of its meaning. The artwork is a reproduction of a vignette from the ancient Egyptian Book of the Dead, taken from the Papyrus of Hunefer (EA9901,5) dating to around 1450 BC. It depicts Hunefer's mummy supported by Anubis or a jackal-masked priest, while Hunefer's wife Nasha and daughter mourn. Three priests, including one wearing a panther skin, perform the Opening of the Mouth ritual (Spell 22).
