Alan Beck is an amazing artist. He is a quilter and most of his quilts tell us stories. His wife Regina was kind enough to bring one of his quilts to work so we can see this outstanding piece of art. Regina and Alan went to Egypt and Alan created one of three quilts as a remembrance of their experiences in Egypt.
The Path of the Dead
The God Anubis prepares the Dead for the Journey to the Afterlife. The journey begins with the twelve gates. The Dead must be recognized and allowed to pass by a guardian at each gate. Next the Heart is weighed against a Feather. If all goes well then the Dead rides a solar boat to the Sun God RA and the Afterlife.
