Mummy Board of Iineferty
New Kingdom, Ramesside
The Mistress of the House, Iineferty, was buried in an anthropoid wooden coffin (86.1.5a, b). A wooden cover, sometimes called a "mummy board," was placed over the body. This mummy board is carved and painted to represent the deceased as if she were alive and dressed in a long white pleated gown. Other objects in the collection that were discovered in the same tomb can be viewed here.
