Ancient Egyptians considered the Acacia Tree ‘the tree of life’ in which both life and death are enclosed. Isis & Osiris were said to have emerged from the Acacia tree of Saosis. The birds represent the various stages of human life; with the orange bird on the left side (West side of death) symbolising old age and the awaiting of death. Notice how all the other birds are staring to the opposite side for they represent the lively phase of life from birth (bottom bird) to adulthood (flying bird).
