In Egyptian religion, people did not believe there was one all-powerful deity. There were some gods who were considered more powerful than others, but nearly every family had a particular god, and some carried a small statue (shawabti) of that god with them for protection. When a person died, their family felt it was important to make sure the tomb was welcoming to the family's god. Egyptians thus put not just the mummified body of the deceased in the coffin or crypt. They put small items of furniture or jewelry or other things that would help the deity to recognize the deceased as a loyal believer, and thus welcome him or her to the afterlife.
