Best Answer

The names and titles of the deceased person would feature in a broad band down the centre, along with standard formulas such as "may he/she live for ever". If the person was royalty their names were written inside an oval frame known as a cartouche.

Around the edge would be standard texts giving protection to the body and stating the names of protector gods and goddesses. Symbols of life, protection and eternity would be prominent in the designs painted on the case and the person's names would be repeated - the Egyptians believed that a person's soul would live for ever as long as their name was remembered, so ensuring that the name was recorded many times helped to ensure their continued existence.
