Two Deities Carrying a Net

This fragment of papyrus depicts two stylized, mummiform figures in profile facing toward a centrally located, diamond-shaped net. The figures are connected by a horizontal staff or pole that pierces the net and is held at either end by the figures' hands, which are obscured by the staff. The figure on the left has a human head with a short beard and a simple hairstyle, while the figure on the right is topped with a simple, flat-crowned headgear. To the left stands a tree with dense, circular foliage rendered in a schematic, linear style. The composition is set against the visible, fibrous texture of the papyrus.

This scene derives from the Egyptian funerary tradition, specifically reflecting imagery associated with the 'Book of the Dead' where deceased souls or deities interact with net-related trials in the afterlife. The net serves as a symbol of cosmic or ritual trapping, frequently linked to the navigation of the Duat.
