Inlaid box for cosmetic vessels of Sithathoryunet
Middle Kingdom
This reconstructed box is smaller and its original form less secure. The sides are embellished with a niche pattern that is also found in palace architecture. On the lid are three rectangular panels containing the names of King Amenemhat III that most likely originally belonged to another box. The difficulty in reconstructing these boxes indicates the damage done by the water that periodically flooded Sithathoryunet’s tomb.
