The god Osiris holds the crook and the whip, emblems of authority. Behind him stand two goddesses, wife and sister of Osiris. The Book of the Dead is more properly called Spells of Coming Forth by Day, and was designed as a guide to help the dead in the afterlife. The book remained popular well into the Roman period.
