European Museums, The British MuseumAnubis and Ra sitting with a winged solar disc on top
Painted wooden coffin of the priest of Amun Amenemope
Late 21st-early 22nd Dynasty,
about 950-900 B.C.
From Thebes
The lid is dominated by a large floral collar, over which is represented a crossed stole of red leather, an element of the trappings of mummies at this period, probably signifying protection. The exterior of the coffin case carries scenes from the Amduat, showing the nocturnal journey of the sun god; on the interior are depictions of the solar disc and the deceased adoring various gods.
