  • The function of the serdab is unclear.[51] Joachim Spiegel [de] considered the room to represent the day sky.[52] Nicolas Grimal postulates that these held statues of the deceased.[53] Mark Lehner adds that the niches could have been used for storing provisions of the cult; a symbolic transfer of offerings presented at the offering hall's false door into the subterranean chambers.[54] Leclant disputes the royal statue hypothesis, proffering instead their use as storage compartments for funerary materials.[55] Bernard Mathieu posits that the serdab represents the "Demeure d'Osiris" (residence of Osiris), where the ruler has to descend below the horizon before resuming their ascent to the northern sky.[56] James Allen notes that it may relate to the tripartite "Tomb of Horus", featured in the Amduat, containing Horus's dismembered body after he is slain by Seth. The three recesses thus contained the "human head, falcon wings, and feline rear" of Horus.[52][57]
