This pyramidion, probably dating to the Amarna period, was found in a tomb at Abydos. Only the front side is decorated. The scene shows the (anonymous) deceased with two baboons, in adoration for the rising sun. The deceased hoped to join the sun-god Re in his solar bark, when he started his journey through the sky.
