Rectangular wooden model coffin. Barrel vaulted top with a central flat strip, with square corner pillars. Made from a single piece of wood. Bottom may have been separate, or integral, it is now missing due to insect damage probably occuring in the tomb. The coffin appears to have had a small inner cavity, perhaps for an animal mummy or parts of the deceased? or for a book of the dead? The exterior of the box is painted white (patches of which are now missing). On this background have been vertical black bands on the sides of the upright corners. Two broad and two narrow horizontal black lines on the sides of the coffin. Above which on the barrel vaulted sides of the lid, have been painted black outlined seated deities alternately in and green. (They may be the four sons of Horus? or underworld deities.) On one side there is a baboon headed figure? followed by a hawk headed figure, followed by two human headed figures. On the other side there is a human headed figure? followed a jackel headed figure, followed by two further human headed figures? One end of the coffin has a Djed tree painted in green on it, within two green bands and a black outline that mirrors the coffin end. The other end of the coffin is partially away (from the bottom up), but appears to have had a similar black outline to the other end (but here is capped by a red curved line), inside of which on the right hand side was a standing black human figure (with arms raised?) Above this appears be a frieze of short black vertical lines (simplified ‘hk3’ frieze?). On either side of the black outline were columns of text. Only the right hand side remains partially visible (see below for text). The top of each square pillar has a central in it, with parts of dowels still in them. This was probably to attach wooden birds (see 1902.53.15.b). There are also four (possibly five) holes along the flat central top. Again to attach wooden figures (birds or possibly a jackel.) There are two steel spikes fixed into one side of the coffin, probably from a twentieth century display techique. The bottom is encrusted with (wax?) and grit/sand deposits.
Colour: red & green & white & black
