ÉVA LIPTAY: Between Heaven and Earth II: The Iconography of a Funerary Papyrus from the Twenty-First Dynasty (Part II)

BAI no. 10018: Niwinski 1989, London 36; Lanzone 1881-1885, pl. CLIX; A. Piankoff, "The Funerary Papyrus of the Shieldbearer Amon-m-saf in the Louvre Museum", Egyptian Religion III 1935, 155; S. Schott, Zum Weltbild des neuen Reiches, Nachrichten der Akademie der Wissenschaften in Göttingen Philologisch-Historische Klasse 1965, 187, Anm. 3; 197; Mysliwiec 1978-79, 83 and figs. 52, 64. Alinneapolis, Institute of Arts, 16.675 = Niwinski 1989, pl. 48b. The motif of the solar eye residing inside the disc as the passenger of the nocturnal barque on a coffin dated to the Roman period: A. Belluccio, "Les poissons célestes", in Proceedings of the 7th International Congress of Egyptologists (Orientálta Lovaniensia Analecta 82), ed. C.J. Eyre, Lernen 1998, 137 and fig. 4. New Kingdom versions: E. Hornung, Das Buch der Anbetung des Re im Westen (Sonnenlitanei) nach den Versionen des Neuen Reiches I-II (Aegyptiaca Helvetica 2-3), Geneva 1975-1976; Twenty-first Dynasty versions: Piankoff 1964, 70 and 137; ibid., 71 and 136; ibid., 75 and 139; ibid., 77 and 141; ibid., 88 and 150. The solar eye also appears in an oval in one of the scenes of the Book of Caverns (third scene field, middle register = Hornung 1992, Abb. 77), namely in the company of a ram-head also enclosed by an oval, and the body of Osiris encircled by the coils of the Mehen-snake. Niwinski 1989, fig. 55; T. Andrzejewski, Le papyrus mythologique de Te-hem-en-Mout (Musée National de Varsovie, no 199 628), Warszawa and Paris 1959, 51-52, pi. 3. Schmidt 1919, fig. 841 = Lanzone 188-1885, Tav. CCL (G. Kueny and J. Yoyotte, Grenoble, Musée des Beaux-Arts, Coll. Égyptienne, Paris 1979, 85 (Inv. 3572). Lanzone 1881-1885, Tav. CCXXXXVI = Kueny and Yoyotte 1979, 85 (Inv. 3572). The personifed wd't-eye is seemingly the prominent figure of the same locale on the walls of two New Kingdom private tombs as well (M. Saleh, Das Totenbuch in den thebanischen Beamtengräbern des Neuen Reiches, Mainz 1986, Abb. 92, 93), on the vignette of BD 137A he is represented holding a lamp. The solar eve appearing on the hillside of the western mountain is responsible for providing light in the darkness of night: see above. As in the case of the sun disc held by Atum in front of him: Mysliwiec 1978-79, I, pl. XXI. Niwinski 1989, fig. 88 = Cairo J. 29611 (the coffin of Neseramun). Beneath the barque, in the lower part of the scene which is divided into two, the head of a hawk can be seen pouring out rays towards the Underworld. A similar scene can he found on the same coffin (Niwinski 1989, fig. 87), but the sun disc contains a scarab and is placed upon an ////-sign in this case. A. Gasse, Les sarcophages de la Troisième Period Intermédiaire du Museo Gregoriano Egizio, Città del Vaticano 1996, pl. XVI, 1-2. On the other side, similarly to the former case, the motif of the scarab appears inside the disc.
