Detail of the bottom of the inner coffin of Gaoetsesjni, aka Gautsoshen, at the Rijksmuseum van Oudheden in Leiden. It dates to the Third Intermediate Period. I’m intrigued by the way the vulture’s long neck joins the body.

[A naked male figure, painted orange, holds up a snake across his shoulders. He has the head of a vulture. A second snake coils upwards beside his body, turning where it reaches his left elbow. Above and below the figure is the hieroglyph for sky painted black and filled with white stars.]

Nut-and-Geb scene from the side of the inner coffin of Gaoetsesjni, aka Gautsoshen, at the Rijksmuseum van Oudheden in Leiden. It dates to the Third Intermediate Period.

Detail of the papyrus of Gautsoshen. Note the pair of bunny demons carrying a snake. I think the twin demons with the snake is a motif that pops up in more than one Amduat.
