Goddess Isis and her sister Nephthys mourned the death of Osiris, and while they shown their grief, the sisters cautiously made the body of Osiris for divine mummification. As protectors of Osiris, they became the protectors of all mummies. Their images look on coffins and on canopic jar boxes, where they guard the mummified variety meats of the passed. Sometimes the sisters are represented as hucksters wearing their respective symbols on their heads: 8 Isis and 3 Nephthys, their extended wings protecting the broken. In the Book of the Dead, Isis and Nephthys come along with the sun God Ra when he checks for his annual journey through the Netherworld.
