Context:
Apis was the sacred bull of the city of Memphis. Statues and reliefs always show him with a sun disk and a uraeus (cobra) on his head. A god in his own right, he was also closely associated with the god Ptah of Memphis, the solar deities, and Osiris, god of death and resurrection. When an Apis bull died, he was embalmed like a human being and given a magnificent burial in an area of the Saqqara cemetery known today as the Serapeum.
