Description: | Coffin fragment. 2 pieces. Painted wood. Labelled '936'.This appears on the grounds of similaity in style to be the same coffin as EC427. Third Intermediate Period. A possible ram-headed deity can be seen on the left and a Tyet (Girdle of Isis) motif on the right. This piece dates to the 21st Dynasty. The Tyet symbol often appears at the head of the coffin on 21st Dynasty coffins. Although the place at the head of the coffin is usually taken by Nephthys, the goddesses can sometimes replace one another and role of Isis at the head can be explained by the fact that the footboards at the end of the coffin are often undecorated (Liptay, E. 2011 'Coffins and Coffin Fragments of the Third Intermediate Period' p12, 18). | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Rights holder: | University of Swansea, Egypt Centre | Subjects: | [none] | Temporal: | Third Intermediate Period | Source: | Egypt Centre | Identifier: | http://www.egyptcentre.org.uk/index.asp?... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
