Text Appearing Before Image:
ethyst, lapis lazuli,amazon stone, carnelian and serpentine,while the more precious emerald andturquois were not without representation among these figures of the sacred beetlethat replaced the heart in the mummiesof the Egyptian dead.

Heart of mine; I am in possessionof thee, I am they master and thou art by me;fall not away from me; I am the dictator towhom thou shalt obey in the Netherworld.
