Budge, Ernest A. Wallis: Some account of the collection of Egyptian antiquities in the possession of Lady Meux: of Theobalds Park, Waltham Cross (London, 1896)

No. 4.

Inner wooden coffin of a lady who probably lived
towards the end of the period of the XXVIth dynasty,
about b,c. 500. The face, which is painted yellow,
is made of a piece of hard wood pegged on the
cover; over it falls a heavy head-dress painted in
imitation of the handsome examples of an earlier
period. The collar, or necklace, is roughly painted,
and running down the cover is a line of hieroglyphics
containing prayers for funeral offerings; these are
almost illegible, and the name of the deceased is
quite effaced. To the right and left of this line of
hieroglyphics are marks which show that scenes in
which the deceased was represented making offerings
to the gods of the underworld have been painted there.
Between the collar and the inscription is a winged
disk with pendent urasi. All other parts of the coffin
and cover are uninscribed, and are not ornamented.
Preserved within the coffin are the remains of the
cartonnage case of the mummy which belonged to the
coffin. From Thebes.

Length, 6 ft. 2 in.
