The mummified body of Ani lies on a bier in a shrine. Underneath is his palette and four sealed jars that contain his embalmed internal organs. It was important to have the organs preserved intact for without them a man could not hope to live again. At the head of the mummy is a figure of Nephthys in the form of a bird, similarly at the foot is the figure of Isis. From the ''Book of the Dead, the Papyrus of Ani, Egypt ( BC)
