Kites

Kites were Egyptian women who were hired or pressed into service during funerals to accompany and greet the coffins of the gone when they were taken to the necropolises. Professional mourners, the kites roared and evidenced their grief at each funeral. They are described in some renditions of the Book Of The Dead.
