"Opening of the Mouth" vessel of Perneb. Dimensions: H: 8.4 cm (3 5/16 in.). Dynasty: Dynasty 5. Reign: reign of Isesi-Unis. Date: ca. 2381-2323 B.C..An essential rite performed during the funeral ceremonies was the "Opening of the Mouth." Thought to have evoked the rituals carried out at the birth of a child, this served to restore the senses of the newly deceased (resident in spirit within the mummified body or a statue), so that he or she could once again breathe, speak, eat, drink, see, and hear.This vessel is part of a set used for this ceremony. It would have held milk, or salt or fresh water (see also 14.7.92; 14.7.93; and 14.7.94).For a complete set of implements for this ritual, see 07.228.117a-h.
