Ancient Egyptian Religion Roles groups functionaries specific to Egyptian temple and funerary practice. The Sem Priest, marked by a leopard skin worn over one shoulder, performed the Opening of the Mouth ceremony believed to restore sight, speech and breath to a mummy or statue, a rite a king's own heir might carry out, as Ay did for Tutankhamun, distinguishing this office from the broader cross tradition priestly roles listed elsewhere.
