Wooden coffin and lid of the lady Nesmut, decorated with polychrome figures and inscriptions. The lid carries a face-mask framed by a striped wig, and wearing a floral collar. Below is a central inscription flanked by panels containing representations of deities, including Osiris, Ra-Horakhty and the Sons of Horus. The case has a large inscription around the outside containing a request for food-oferings. The interior bears a large painted figure of the goddess Nut on the floor, with the arms rising up the sides, accompanied by additional inscriptions.
