There were three sets of processional equipment for Osiris and Sokar depicted on Nineteenth Dynasty royal monuments at Abydos - Sokar's henu-barque; the «Osiris Fetish,«associated with Osiris-Khentyimentiu; and a barque carrying a bed, which resembles funerary boats depicted in vignettes to Book of the Dead Chapter 1. Ptolemaic records of ritual describe three divine images to be made for the Festival of Osiris - Sokar-Osiris; Osiris-Khentyimentiu; and the divine members, a set of disembodied limbs. These sets are representative of the processional equipment depicted on Nineteenth Dynasty Abydene monuments. However, the layout and decorative program of the Temple of Seti I at Abydos strongly indicate that the internal rites for Sokar's Festival were still independent of those for Osiris' Festival at Abydos, during the reign of Seti I.
