Description
Wooden base and lid of an anthropoid wooden coffin: for the body of a young girl, with extended foot-board, covered with moulded stucco and painted: the girl, with long black hair, is shown wearing a red mantle, with a green fringe, over a long white tunic, with a snake-bracelet on each wrist, holding sprigs of laurel in her left hand; over the feet, painted so as to be seen by the deceased, is a winged sun-disc, with arms supporting festive symbols, and an ankh beneath, the relatively high sides of the base are decorated with representations of funerary deities and inscriptions, damaged in places.
