Scenes E1 and E2 comprise a single large scene. The kneeling king burns incense over a meal piled on a table before a large shrine containing several deities. As in the last scene, the deities are all statues depicted on their pedestals, and small statuettes of the king make offerings to some of their images. The deities in this section might represent luminaries on the other side of Nun, which have not yet arisen into the Eastern horizon. Nefertum holds the Sound-eye to his breast, as he has just emerged from the image of Nun, while Khepri (sunrise), Thoth (moon), Neith, and Wedjoyet follow.
