Linen Chest Reused as a Child's Coffin
New Kingdom
Found in the debris above Hatshepsut's Valley Temple in the Lower Asasif, this whitewashed chest, once used to store linen, was repurposed as the coffin of a child. There are five lines of inscription in hieratic on the underside of the lid, providing a list of linen garments along with the names of officials.
