Description: | Wooden coffin lid fitting base UC. 8899 A with the same layer of cartonnage over for the design with the characteristic yellow varnish as background. Inscribed with the traditional formulae, and no name present. Red traces across chest; menat decoration; and below winged disc; winged scarab bettle; winged Edjo and Nekhet; and a further winged disc. Below are vertically registers, with cobras, and outermost register at each side has a deity. Decoration paralleled on the two sides. Red, blue, black, white paint used. The old case (A) was reused for the funeral of a priest, without any doubt not of higher rank in the State of Amun, for whom a new lid was purchased (B). The lid is an example of "serial" production as no central inscription on lid. Gift of the Wellcome Trustees: formerly Wellcome Collection numbers 3064 and R4643/1937. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/ | Rights holder: | University College London | Subjects: | Egyptology | Temporal: | name=Dynasty 21; start=-1069; end=-945
