The outer coffin of Djedmut, chantress of Amun, is a masterpiece of the Museo Gregoriano Egizio (Vatican). Her inner coffin was never clearly identified. The lid of the inner coffin of Djedmut with the same titles conserved at the Museum d’Histoire Naturelle (MHN) in La Rochelle (France) and likely the floorboard fragment of the inner coffin case with the same name at the Museo Civico Archeologico di Padova (Italy) could be the membra disjecta of the funerary equipment of Djedmut. The title, #nmm-#nsw-pA-Xrd, could be the name of Djedmut.

EJARS 14.1, 2024

This paper tackles the unpublished outer coffin lid of an anonymous woman; it is exhibited at the Egyptian Museum in Cairo (JE 29622-CG 6133). It was found in the tomb/cache of Bab El-Gasus at Deir El-Bahari. The artistic features and the decoration system indicate that it is dated to the late 21st dynasty. And according to the text on the footboard, she is the daughter of a high priest, probably Merit-Amun, the daughter of the high priest of Amun, Menkheperre. Furthermore, one cannot fail to notice the first known appearance of the representation of the iit sign offering until now and the rare depiction of Osiris wearing the red crown. .

Observations on 21st Dynasty Coffins from European Museum Collections

The unifying principle of this report is twofold: The exploration of museology embedded within the layout of the visited museums and its influence on the reception of Twenty-First Dynasty coffins' iconographic repertoire. European museums, as this report will demonstrate, not only form persuasive, didactic organisations, but in doing so, concurrently impose intellectual barriers because of the particularity of the messages broadcasted. Consequently, the term 'coffin design' refers explicitly to iconographic motifs, with 'significance' relating to not only the themes they impart but also, as products of 'European museums', how the reception of this iconography may be influenced.
