Description

An Egyptian bed, also known as a bier, was a type of ceremonial furniture used during burial rituals. It served as a platform to hold the deceased body, often during the embalming process or when it was being transported to the tomb. These beds were often ornately crafted to reflect the status of the dead and to ensure their comfort and protection in the afterlife. The bier symbolized the transition from life to death, playing an essential role in the rituals that honored the deceased and their journey into the afterlife.
