Outer Coffin of the Singer of Amun Nauny

Unknown

ca. 1000 B.C. · Sycomore wood, mud, glue, stucco, paint, varnish, plaster · Egyptian Art

Nauny was buried in a set of nesting coffins which included an outer coffin (30.3.23a, b), an inner coffin (30.3.24a, b), and the mummy cover (30.3.25). The faces may originally have been gilded, which would explain why each was removed in ancient times.
