The djed pillar is an amulet in the form of the hieroglyphic sign which means \'enduring, stable\' and similar.
It came to represent the backbone of the Lord god Osiris, and the Djed amulet was placed with the deceased to help ensure rebirth.
A spell in the Book of the Dead activates such an amulet, saying \'Raise yourself up Osiris! You have your backbone once more, O weary-hearted One; you have your vertebrae!\'
