Outer Coffin of Khonsu

New Kingdom, Ramesside

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 126

The Servitor in the Place of Truth, Khonsu, the son of Sennedjem and Iineferty, was buried in his father's tomb. His mummy, covered by a mummy mask and laid in the wooden inner coffin, indicates that he was between fifty and sixty years old at his death. This coffin shows the deceased wearing a tripartite striated wig and holding in his right hand the djed symbol for "stability," and tit, for "protection," in his left. For the inner coffin of Khonsu see 86.1.2a, b. Other objects in the collection that were discovered in the same tomb can be viewed here.
