: coffin
: An anthropomorphic coffin base. It has a yellow background with columns of hieroglyphs and the profiles of figures on the sides. The inside has a red background with large figures including a scarab at the head. Evidence (provided by Kara Cooney, UCLA)suggests that this is a Ramesside coffin, recycled in the Third Intermediate Period. The decoration quality inside the case is much poorer than that of the lid and mummy board. No evidence of black pitch.
