Image description

marked the transition between the world of the living in front of it, and the world of the dead behind it. It was thought that the ka, or soul, of the deceased tomb owner would pass through the door to consume food and drink left by family members or friends in front. In most cases, the owner is shown partaking in such offerings on a panel over the door.
