Conclusion:
- The Edfou scene is connected with the festival of the New year

   which was held in the Egyptian temples.
- The offerings of cloth were very important in the Month of Khiok

   of Osiris in which he is revived by many kinds of offerings.
- The role of the four Anubis gods is obvious in the mummification

   process.They assemble the parts of the body of Osiris, wrap it with
   the mummification cloth, adorn it and anoint it with ointmented
   cloth.
- Anubis as four separate entities represents the four sons of Horus,
   who were said to be the four sons of Osiris. They had the same
   role towards Osiris. In the rite of stA mrt , the four chests are the
   four sons of Horus, who appear also holding the cloth on the lids
   of some sarcophagus of the late period .
- The siA.t may be used as strips to well enclose the body of the
   deceased.
- We may deduce also the names of the siA.t-cloth which were put
   inside the four mrt- boxes from our texts of Edfou, as the texts
   refer to them, they are: The cloth of Tayet, of Renenutet, the sacred
   cloth and the perfumed Neith cloth.
