Het deksel van de antropoïde lijkkist van Chonsoe-tefnacht dateert uit de 4e eeuw v.C. Het hoofd, voorzien van een ceremoniële baard, onderscheidt zich door de grote ogen en door de roodbruine kleur van de huid. Chonsoe-tefnacht is getooid met een pruik met witte en blauwe plooien en draagt een brede halskraag op de borst. De kist is versierd met voorstellingen van goden die verdeeld zijn over twee registers en met hiëroglifische teksten opgesteld in verticale kolommen. Het eerste register toont de "psychostasie" of "het wegen van het hart", een scène die ontleend is aan de beroemde Spreuk 125 van het Dodenboek. In het tweede register bemerken we de god Anoebis die bezig is de overledene te balsemen, terwijl deze op zijn lijkbaar rust. In de scène rechts is de god Re-Horachte afgebeeld in de zonnebark. De <A HREF="God">godin</A> Noet, vergezeld van de 24 "genieën" die de 12 uren van de dag en de 12 uren van de nacht verpersoonlijken, siert de binnenkant van het deksel.

The lid of the anthropoid coffin of Khonstefnakht dates from the 4th century BC. The head, which has a false beard, is distinguished by its large eyes and the red-brown skin colour. Khonstefnakht wears a blue and white striped wig and on his chest is a broad collar. The body of the coffin is covered with representations of divinities in two registers, and with hieroglyphic inscriptions in vertical columns. The first register shows an illustration of the famous chapter 125 of the 'Book of the Dead', perhaps better known as 'the weighing of the heart'. In the second register, the god Anubis is shown embalming the body of the deceased which lies on a funerary bed. The right-hand scene shows the god Re-Harakhty in the solar barque. The interior of the lid is covered with a figure of the <A HREF="God">goddess</A> Nut, accompanied by 24 genies who represent the 12 hours of the day and the 12 of the night.

Le couvercle du cercueil anthropoïde de Khonsou-tefnakht date du IVe siècle av. J.-C. La tête, pourvue d'une barbe postiche, se caractérise par de grands yeux et par la couleur brun-rouge de la peau. Khonsou-tefnakht est coiffé d'une perruque à raies blanches et bleues et porte un large collier sur sa poitrine. Le corps du cercueil est couvert de représentations de divinités, réparties sur deux registres, et d'inscriptions hiéroglyphiques, notées en colonnes verticales. Le premier registre illustre le célèbre chapitre 125 du ''Livre des Morts'', mieux connu comme la ''psychostasie'' ou la ''pesée du coeur''. Dans le second registre le dieu Anubis embaume le corps du défunt qui repose sur un lit funéraire. La scène de droite montre le dieu Rê-Horakhty dans la barque solaire. La <A HREF="God">déesse</A> Nout, accompagnée de vingt-quatre génies qui personnifient les douze heures du jour et les douze heures de la nuit, couvre l'intérieur du couvercle.

Il coperchio del sarcofago antropoide di Khonsu-tefnakht data al IV secolo a.C. La testa, provvista di una barba posticcia, è caratterizzata da grandi occhi e dal colore rosso scuro della pelle. Khonsu-tefnakht è coperto da una parrucca a righe bianche e blu e porta un largo collare sul petto. Il corpo del sarcofago è coperto di rappresentazioni di divinità, ripartite su due registri, e d'iscrizioni geroglifiche, scritte in colonne verticali. Il primo registro illustra il celebre capitolo 125 del Libro dei Morti, meglio conosciuto come la "psicostasia" o la "pesatura del cuore". Nel secondo registro il dio Anubi imbalsama il corpo del defunto che è posto su un letto funerario. La scena di destra mostra il dio Ra-Harakhty nella barca solare. La <A HREF="God">dea</A> Nut, accompagnata da ventiquattro geni che personificano le dodici ore del giorno e le dodici ore della notte, ricopre l'interno del coperchio.

A cobertura do sarcófago antropóide de Khonsutefnakht data do século IV a. C. A cabeça, ornada no queixo de uma pêra cerimonial, é caracterizada por ter olhos grandes e pela cor castanha da pele.  Khonsutefnakth usa uma cabeleira com riscas brancas e azuis, e um colar largo sobre o peito.  A cobertura é decorada com representações de deuses, repartidas em dois registos, e com textos hieroglíficos, dispostos em colunas verticais.  O primeiro registo exibe a "psicostasia" ou "a pesagem do coração": uma cena retirada do famoso capítulo 125 do "Livro dos Mortos".  No segundo registo encontra-se o deus Anúbis, mumificando o defunto no seu ataúde.  Na cena direita está representado o deus Ré-Horakhti na barca solar.  A <A HREF="God">deusa</A> Nut, acompanhada pelos 24 "génios" que personificam as 12 horas do dia e as 12 horas da noite, esconde o lado interior da cobertura.

La tapadera del sarcófago antropoide de Jonsu-tefnajt es del siglo IV a. de J.C. La cabeza, que lleva barba postiza, se caracteriza por unos grandes ojos y por el color marrón rojizo de la piel. Jonsu-tefnajt lleva una peluca de rayas blancas y azules y un ancho collar en el pecho. El cuerpo del sarcófago está repleto de representaciones de divinidades distribuidas sobre dos registros e inscripciones jeroglíficas apuntadas en columnas verticales. El primer registro representa el famoso capítulo 125 del ''Libro de los Muertos'', más conocido como la ''psicostasía'' o el ''pesaje del corazón''. En el segundo registro el dios Anubis embalsama el cuerpo del difunto que descansa sobre una cama funeraria. La escena de la derecha muestra el dios Re-Harajty en la barca solar. La <A HREF="God">diosa</A> Nut, acompañada de veinticuatro genios que personifican las doce horas del día y las doce horas de la noche, cubre el interior de la tapadera.
