The ritual is being performed by priests, who are the sons of the deceased. The setem-priest appears first, holding the mesekhtiu (an axe-shaped tool), accompanied by the lecture priest and the deceased’s weeping daughters. Dimensions: 108 cm x 79 cm x 14.5 cm. Museum location: Museum / Floor 1 / Room 06 DEM / Showcase 10.
