About the Artwork
Reproduction of the interior decoration of a coffin belonging to an unknown person who lived during the Third Intermediate Period, c. 1070-945 BC. Most of the interior is taken up with the image of King Amenhotep I in the guise of the mummiform Osiris, who is attended by a priest in a panther skin, a human-headed ba-bird representing the spirit of the coffin's owner, and a crouching mourning woman.
