Mummy Board of the Singer of Amun Nauny

Unknown

ca. 1050 B.C. · Sycomore wood, mud, glue, stucco, paint, varnish · Egyptian Art

Nauny was buried in a nested pair of anthropoid (human-shaped) coffins. The set included what appears to be a third lid, but is actually a slightly curving cover often called a "mummy board." This was placed directly over the mummy. Nauny's mummy board has decoration similar to her coffin lids as was customary in Dynasty 21. For a different style of mummy board, see 86.1.5c.
