Its authority rests on peer review by a leading specialist journal in the field and Roth's direct philological and iconographic analysis of the ritual's textual and pictorial sources. It focuses specifically on the psh-kf implement and its symbolism within the ceremony, so a claim about the Opening of the Mouth ritual more broadly benefits from a source with wider scope as well.FactsCross-Tradition ConnectionsClaims Backed By This Source (16 claims)Comments (0)Reader Challenges (0 open reader challenges)FactsAssessmentReliability TierWell-attested1Ann Macy Roth's 1992 article in the Journal of Egyptian Archaeology, published by the Egypt Exploration Society, the top tier reflecting peer review by a leading specialist journal and Roth's direct philological and iconographic analysis.
