Art Image based on the text and a painting illustrating Chapter 16 from the Egyptian Book of the Dead as depicted in the Papyrus of the scribe Ani.

The text deals with praising the god Osiris, explaining how Osiris overcame adversity to rise up at dawn from the underworld of the duat with renewed life lasting forever.   The goddeses Isis (left) and Nephthys (right) praise the djed pillar which symbolizes the endurance of Osiris in the afterlife.  The djed is surmounted by the ankh, symbol for life, shown with the arms of ka, or life energy which lifts up re, which is the divine aspect of the sun.
