Embalmer's Bed
Late Period
Discovered in a cache of material associated with the embalming process, this bed would have been used to support the body during mummification. The top is made from a re-used door, and the lion-headed legs, of a fine harder wood, might have come from a piece of furniture. Such beds frequently appear in scenes of embalming depicted on the walls of tombs or on coffins.
