Inner Coffin Inscribed for Tabakmut
Third Intermediate Period
Inside Tabakmut's outer coffin (25.3.10a, b) was this inner coffin and a mummy board (25.3.12). As on the outer coffin, Tabakmut is shown in a long striated wig bound by a fillet; in this case, the long curled beard, associating the deceased with the god Osiris, is still attached to the chin. Around his shoulders and chest is an elaborate floral collar, from which his fisted hands emerge. As on the outer coffin, scenes relating to the worship of Osiris cover the lid below the broad collar, and ritual scenes connected to the gods of the Netherworld adorn the sides of the box. Tabakmut's name does not appear anywhere on this coffin.
