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. 5-

Cover of a coffin of a lady who probably lived
during the Ptolemaic period, about B.C. 200. The
whole style of this object proclaims the very late
period to which it belongs, and it is evident that at
the time when it was made the art of coffin-making
had reached a low ebb. The body is flat instead of
being convex at the chest and tapering away to
flatness at the feet; the face is large, coarse, and
ill-shapen, and the muddy green and red colours
used in painting the figures of the gods show that
the artist was as little skilled as the carpenter. The
hieroglyphics are roughly traced in black upon a
yellow ground. Beneath the collar are figures of the
four children of Horus, the goddess Nut with out-
stretched wings, the golden hawks of Horus, a
perpendicular line of hieroglyphics containing prayers
for funeral offerings of meat and drink, and upright
figures of Isis, Nephthys and other deities. From
Thebes. Length, 5 ft. 10 in
