Spell 77 of the Book of the Dead of Ramose

Spell 77 of the
Book of the Dead of Ramose
Spells 77 enables Ramose to turn into a hawk of gold. The text tells us that his back is 7 cubits (about 3.7 meters) in length, with wings made of green stone and the head of a benu-bird (which can be seen in spell 83).
...
The picture for this spell shows a golden hawk-figure which is standing on a mat. It has a golden flail at its shoulder.
In Ramose’s Book of the Dead, as in many other examples, this spell is accompanied by spell 78 ‘for being transformed into a hawk’
