His bronze arms, serpent-headed staff, and the Eye of the Sun are all visible amongst the linen wrappings. The Pharaoh is placed in his sarcophagus and born away by a large congregation of weeping mourners. The sarcophagus is closed and contains only a portion of the Pharaoh’s mummified remains, for the sorcerer-king’s power lingers beyond death, encased in his bronze limbs, enchanted staff, and the very treasure the party seeks: The Eye of the Sun. The Pharaoh’s spirit occupies all four items equally.
