This miniature boat from the tomb of Tutankhamun rests upon a basin inscribed with the king’s name and may have held water or perfume. The bow and stern terminate in ibex heads; animals associated with renewal and regeneration. At the bow, a young woman holds a lotus flower, symbol of rebirth, while at the stern a dwarf steers the boat. Beneath the canopy, the screen walls appear to evoke a sarcophagus. In ancient Egyptian belief, the boat symbolized the journey of the sun and the soul from death to rebirth.
