The dead person’s soul will need these during its journey to the Kingdom of Osiris. Place a mask made from linen and glue over the person’s head and shoulders. If you have time, paint this or cover it in gold leaf. Also place a panel across the top part of the body, decorated with protective magic symbols and drawings. Place the wrapped mummy in a body-shaped coffin that has been decorated with jewels, paintings and inscriptions of spells. Paint the coffin so it looks a bit like the person when he or she was alive. Be flattering! Tell the relatives the mummy and the canopic jars are ready for burial.
