Coffin of Senbi

Cleveland Museum of Art

The "Coffin of Senbi" by an unknown artist is a rectangular wooden box. The box is positioned with its long side facing the viewer. The top surface is flat and roughly the same color as the rest of the box; it features a green border around its edges. The border on the top is slightly faded. The box has a green, white, and brown color scheme. The green is used for accents and borders; white is used as the base for hieroglyphics; and brown results from wood discoloration and chipped paint. The front and sides have a decorative border featuring hieroglyphics. Two vertical green lines on the front divide the box into sections. The right section features two eye images. The box appears old, worn, and weathered. It casts a shadow on the right side. The background is gray.
