Anonymous papyrus – Dublin

Provenance unknown
19th Dynasty (Ramses II period)
Provenance unknown
Probably donated in 1838 by Edward King, Viscount Kingsborough

I have located only one of the three sheets in digital form on the Trinity College Library website. Because the papyrus is so beautifully illustrated, I have decided to make an exception and include it here in incomplete form. The remaining sheets can be consulted in black and white in the Totenbuch Project. The present photograph was selected and described by Susie Bioletti of the Library
