Funerary boats are significant artifacts from Ancient Egypt. These models were placed in tombs to serve a dual purpose: providing the deceased with a means of transport for daily needs in the afterlife and facilitating the symbolic pilgrimage to Abydos, the cult center of Osiris. Typically crafted from native wood and coated in gesso before being painted, these vessels often feature a central canopied bier containing a mummy or sarcophagus. The hull is frequently adorned with protective symbols like the Wadjet eye, while the stern is equipped with a large steering oar to navigate the spiritual waters of the Duat.
