Coffin of Nesykhonsu

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts two ancient Egyptian coffins, titled "Coffin of Nesykhonsu" by an unknown artist. The coffin on the left is fully intact, standing upright with a human-like face, adorned with a headdress featuring long, hanging sections on either side of the face. The coffin's body is covered in intricate patterns and hieroglyphics in shades of gold, orange, green, and brown. The coffin on the right is open, revealing a hollow interior with colorful images of people, gods, and hieroglyphics on the inside. The open coffin appears to be made of a lighter-colored material than the one on the left and has a similar shape but with a more elongated form. Both coffins are set against a solid black background.
