Abstract

This paper tackles the unpublished outer coffin lid of an anonymous woman; it is exhibited at the Egyptian Museum in Cairo (JE 29622 – CG 6133).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.
