Death Osirsis

These women reprent the godness Isis & Nephrely's mouning for the munded of the god Osirsis. At the stern there are two large steering oars held by a steated salear. The color green are the side of the boat ( the color of the crops before they ruper) symbolizes resurreetion in the afterlife. In the afterlife it was possble that the god Osirsis would requrie you to do manul work in the fields. If you were scibe on a preistess you would not want to mannel work , so you would be burned with shabdi figues. These were though to leap to life at the command of Osirsis & do the requed. Some people were burned with hurdeneds of habits. Even pharhohs played safe by haning then in there tombs.
