Abstract

This paper aims to publish the inner coffin of a woman named Irtiru, which was found in Sheikh Abd el-Qurna, Thebes, perhaps in a tomb in the west of the Ramesseum, and dates to the second half of the 26th Dynasty according to the typology and criteria of the decorations. It is currently on display at the Egyptian Museum in Cairo (JE 20031). The coffin was perhaps part of a coffin set along with outer and intermediary anthropoid coffins, which are now missing. Iritiru belongs to the lower elite according to the coffin's decorations and its crude, banal, repeated inscriptions; Irtiru held the title “singer of the interior of the temple of Amun". The coffin depicts scenes related to Bd 125, 138, and 154, along with other scenes that describe the deceased's journey from death until her resurrection.
