0965784 - The king wearing the red crown of the North and holding the royal insignia. One of the funeral objects used to evoke the mystical pilgrimages during the funeral. Tukankhamen, by Christiane Desroches Noblecourt, page 218.
Found in the room which diggers called "The Treasury." The King is depicted her wearing the red crown of the North and in a walking position. He is holding in one hand the flail and in the other a long crook which he is using as a walking stick. The object is reminiscent of the emblems of Osirian kingship which are held in the hands of the royal mummy.
Ancient Egypt was once divided into two kingdoms. Before 3000 B.C., the kingdom in Lower Egypt was called the red crown and the Kingdom in Upper Egypt was known as the white crown. When Egypt was united, these two crowns were amalgamated into the Double Crown of Upper and Lower Egypt.
The Ushabti (also called shabti or shawabti) is a small figurine of Ancient Egypt, included in the grave goods of the dead. They are human form statues that were made to serve and do labour in the afterlife of King Tut.
