Sarcófago de Henettawy

Third Intermediate Period
ca. 1000–945 BCE
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 126
A cantora de Amon-Rá Henettawy morreu quando tinha vinte e poucos anos e foi sepultada em uma cripta sem decoração que já tinha sido utilizada para um funeral anterior. A ausência de decorações na parede é mais do que compensada pelas imagens com cores brilhantes de seu jogo de sarcófago. A iconografia do esplêndido ataúde exterior evoca uma múmia envolta em linho branco e adornada com uma máscara mortuária e joias de amuletos. Nos lados e no corpo inferior do sarcófago, faixas amarelas com hieróglifos rodeiam cenas em miniatura com figuras de Henettawy adorando o deus Osíris e divindades protetoras. Ao pé do sarcófago, as deusas Isis e Néftis aparecem em atitude de duelo. Suas figuras estão de cabeça para baixo, para que possam ser vistas pela máscara que cobre a cabeça de Henettawy.
