Abstract
Some Book of the Dead manuscripts began with an initial vignette during the Late and Ptolemaic Periods. As a result of losing the beginning of many manuscripts, we cannot assert whether this initiative scene was originally included. Still, it is uncertain that it was omitted in some complete manuscripts. This paper tackles the formulas of the initial vignette and its types during the Late and Ptolemaic Periods. Additionally, it delves into the distinctive artistic elements that appeared in some papyri and authenticates the sources they were influenced by.
