Brazier from the Burial of Amenhotep

New Kingdom

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 116

In the small tomb of a boy named Amenhotep (36.3.153), a group of jars (36.3.161, 36.3.162, 36.3.164) and this small brazier were found on either side of the coffin. The gray ashy material inside the bowl of the brazier are the remains of incense or a burnt offering that was probably made during the burial ceremony as seen in a detail from one of the Museum's facsimiles (see photo above and 30.4.56).
