Anthropoid Coffin of a Woman
New Kingdom
This coffin belonged to an anonymous elderly woman who was interred on the hillside of Sheikh Abd el Qurna in a chamber constructed of rough rock slabs. Both box and lid are crudely hollowed out of two sections of a sycomore log, and the painted decoration, consisting of a blue and yellow wig cover, a broad collar, and uninscribed body bands, is rather clumsy.
