- Description
-
Wooden face of an anthropomorphic coffin, possibly dating to the Twenty-second Dynasty. The face is painted red, while the eyes and eyebrows are blue. The object was purchased by Sir Henry Wellcome in 1911 from the collection of Lady Meux. It bears the number [8] written on the chin, which corresponds to Budge's numbering of objects in the Meux collection.
