Hypocephalus

A disk of bronze or painted linen found under the heads of Græco-Roman mummies in Egypt.

It is inscribed with magical formulæ and divine figures, and its object was probably to secure warmth for the corpse. There is frequently depicted upon such amulets a scene showing cynocephalus apes adoring the solar disk seated in his boat.
