Image description

In the month of Khoiak, images (often ithyphallic) were modelled of the deceased God from the silt, which were placed in a scale model sarcophagus. It was planted with seeds which were watered and when the grain grew, the God was revived. Sometimes these figurines are found covered with wheat or withered barley in the Theban tombs.
