Magical papyrus of Butehamun with protective texts and vignettes on the recto and annotations including Udjat-eyes in the centre of the verso

This small papyrus carries a protective text, Chapter 100 of the Book of the Dead, in which Butehamon expresses his wish to be a part of the solar rebirth cycle. The vignettes accompanying the text are also connected to the theme of regeneration. This amulet papyrus must have been folded in a small package and hung on the neck with the linen band.
