TT296, the Tomb of Nefersekheru

 

In this scene the couple are lead into the judgement scene by Anubis (in human form, but with the head of a jackal), in an attitude of humility, right arm bent across the chest, so that the hand, clenched into a fist, rests on the left shoulder.
In front of them is the actual weighing scene which is frequently called "the weighing of the heart".
The shaft of the scales stands on a stone corniced pedestal with the beam hanging free, through a ring connected to a hook in the form of the feather of Ma'at. Behind the hook, squats the scribe-god Thoth, who watches over the precision of the scales, in his form of a baboon. The two scale pans hang down from the ends of the beam on cords. In the left pan is the form of the goddess Ma'at, the counterbalance to the red heart of the deceased in that on the right. To be proved justified, the heart of the deceased must not weigh heavy against Ma'at ("truth").
On the left lurks the devourer of the dead awaits the result of the examination. Of its crocodile head, only the uppermost part (the end) of its jaws survive. A red-brown shaggy mane rests on the yellow lion front part which ends at the shoulder and changes into a cumbersome hippopotamus hind quarters.
Horus (face damaged) adjusts the plumb of the scales, its correctness is guaranteed by the baboon form of Thoth. The usual form of Thoth (face damaged), with his scribe's pallet in his left hand, announces the result to Osiris, the sovereign of the deceased.
Above the weighing scene, sit the associate judges: four gods in mummiform with was-sceptres in their hands, each before an offering construction. Their function is to oversee the examination with the scales and to pass judgement after the declaration of the result of weighing, which Thoth then relays to Osiris.
