Lake of Fire (Papyrus of Ani)

The composition is strictly symmetrical, centered on a white-bordered rectangle filled with a pattern of repeating red zig-zags on an orange background, representing the fiery waters of the Egyptian underworld. Surrounding the lake are four baboons with green heads and bodies, oriented in profile, each facing inward toward the center. Interspersed between the baboons are four red, serpentine creatures with circular eyes, whose long, curved bodies frame the edges of the rectangle. The background is a stark, solid black.

The image is a digital recreation of a vignette from the Egyptian 'Book of the Dead', specifically found in the Papyrus of Ani. It serves as a funerary map for the deceased to navigate the dangers of the Duat, where the Lake of Fire acts as a barrier for the unworthy.
