Résumé
A scene from the theban tomb of Montuherkhepechef describes an unusual funerary practice in which two ritualists mutilate a bow and a pḏ-ʿḥʿ before dropping them off in the coffin of the owner. This rite has several objectives that can be explained by analyzing each of its components. With this operation the aim was both to arm the deceased and giving him the same fate that Osiris by render harmless the demons who want to attack his death body.
