Outer sarcophagus with a slight anthropomorphic shape. Pabasa's inner sarcophagus originally fitted into this box. Unfortunately, the lid is missing. Inside is an image of the goddess Nut drawn in black, with an ib-amulet on her chest and her name on her head. The goddess's arms extend over the lateral boards and she is holding ankh signs in her hands. On the outside are very good quality hieroglyphic inscriptions.
