Vignette of the Book of the Dead of Bakenmut

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image is of a piece of aged, light-brown papyrus with rough edges, resembling a scroll. The papyrus features black hieroglyphic writing on the left and right sides. In the center-right, a simple drawing depicts a standing male figure with short hair, wearing a short kilt and holding an object in his hands. The background of the image is a solid dark gray color. The papyrus appears to be titled "Vignette of the Book of the Dead of Bakenmut".
