Légende

Fragment of a Coffin Lid, 1st century B.C.-1st century A.D.. Additional Info: Two main registers of figural decoration adorn this fragmentary coffin lid (composed of 75.AJ.20.1 and 75.AJ.20.2.) The uppermost section of the fragment preserves traces of a wing that would probably formed part of a winged sun disk. The registers are framed and separated by two rows of decoration; the top row is a multi-coloured banded frieze, the lower row is of stars. The figural decoration in the upper register consists of a mummified figure reclining on a lion-bier with a ba-bird hovering above. The four Sons of Horus are depicted under the bier as mummified figures.
