Fragment of the coffin of Amenemope by Frans Vandewalle Via Flickr: Fragment of a wooden outer-coffin with painted decoration on plaster depicting pharaoh Amenemope the owner, offering to a funerary deity and Nun, the personification of the primeval waters, raising the solar barque. Thebes, 10th century BC. October 4, 2012, Canon 7D 

It makes sense for this to be Nun, but he seems to be got up as Hapy, god of the Nile. That’s Nefertum seated to the right. This is at the British Museum.

ETA: The ever-knowledgable @bigbadjackal identifies the “funerary deity” (seated at left) as Anubis. Ta muchly!

Better is poverty in the hand of the god, Than wealth in the storehouse; Better is bread with a happy heart Than wealth with vexation.
