The pattern decorating the top of the foot of the coffin consists of repeating ankhs and was scepters, which had stylized ram’s heads. The was scepter is a symbol of protection; the ankh symbolizes eternal life. Both were also common symbols on amulets.
The sacred Apis, a black and white bull, revered by Egyptians as a living god, was often depicted on the foot of the coffin. In the Afterlife, Apis would carry the dead on his back toward a tomb.
