The ceremony of Pepi I’s worship is conducted under the watchful eyes of Osiris, protector of universal order and justice in the afterlife. Each priest performs his task based on his title. As the reciting priest, “he who knows the ritual formula” Hau-Nefer recites the pharaoh’s five names, followed by “May he live on forever and ever!” Then, assisted by other priests, he carefully undresses the statue to perform the rituals of purification and adoration. All roles are carefully assigned.
