| Wooden chest panel from a mummy coffin from Egypt's Third Intermediate period. Including the wooden proper left hand, with ending of the wig above. Falcon headed seated deity with feather of Maat on the head, and flail protruding from the body. Osiris with curled ram horns, sun disk, and plumes seated with an offering table before him. The arm of a figure (probably Thoth) to the right. Nephthys and probably her sister Isis (crown missing) standing behind. Wonderful vivid all original paint with no restoration. Many wooden pegs through out for connection to other sections. 30x26 cm. The piece is made from a sold piece of cedar which had to be imported in from Lebanon in ancient times, making it much rarer than the typical sycamore used in most mummy coffins. Thus assuring this coffin was made for a person of high status. Comes with copy of original receipt from Mohamed Abdel-Rahim El-Shear antiquity merchant. License number 75, Cairo, Egypt June, 15th 1966. For another example showing the upper part of a mummy coffin from the same period with both hands intact please see our item #481773 on our website. | |||||||
