Outer coffin

Mummy coffin for the woman Isetirdis (Isisirdis). The texts on the outside tell us she was a daughter of a brewer by the name Tjaimenimu and a woman called Atsha.

Outer coffin representing the deceased wearing a tripartite wig, with a fillet surrounding a sun-disk with two cobras on top of the head. A broad collar. Below the collar, the lid is divided into five registers. With a winged sun-disk with two cobras, flanked on each side by four columns of text.

The floor of the interior is occupied by a figure of Ptah-Sokar-Osiris.

Third Intermediate Period-Late Period. Probably from Thebes.
