This attractive rectangular sarcophagus made of limestone belongs to Nakht, head of the guild of artisans of Abydos. It takes the form of a house with symbolically-represented doors, and its decoration is very simple. Each of the four faces bears a horizontal line of hieroglyphic inscriptions; the long sides bear in addition five columns of text at evenly-spaced intervals. At one end, near the head of the body of the deceased, are two udjat- eyes, which ensured permanent protection for the life in the Hereafter. The short sides are decorated with figures of the goddesses Isis and Nephthys in their function of mourners.
