Corn-mummies are small mummy-shaped figures made of mud or sand, mixed with grains of barley. They were usually wrapped in linen cloth and placed in falcon-headed coffins, and buries in cemeteries or in other places specially designated for ritual deposits. On some specimins wax attributes point to a close association with the rituals of Osiris. Inscriptions in the temple of Dendera (Roman period) describe the manufacture of a corn-mummy as part of the annual Khoiak festival for Osiris. The ritual was intended to ensure the god's resurrection and the continuation of life in Egypt and of the cosmic order as a whole. | Download a 3D printable file for free or get it printed." />
