Description
The finely painted coffin of Nakht-ankh, discovered in a rock-cut tomb at Beni Hasan. The coffin is a good example of the classic Middle Kingdom type, a simple rectangular box with a flat lid. It was intended to represent the House of the Spirit of the deceased, the painted panel at the head end with it's squared pattern and representation of double doors gives some idea of a dwelling house of the period.

De fraai beschilderde lijkkist van Nachtanch, ontdekt in een rotsgraf te Beni Hassan. De kist is een goed voorbeeld van het klassieke Middenrijks-type: een simpele rechthoekige kist met een plat deksel. Het stelde het huis van de ziel van de overledene voor. Het geschilderde paneel aan het hoofdeinde, met het geblokte patroon en afbeelding van dubbele deuren, geeft een idee van een woonhuis uit deze periode.
Ce sarcophage en bois peint de Nakht-Ankh fut découvert dans une tombe rupestre de Beni Hassan. C'est un bel exemple du type classique du Moyen Empire: une simple boîte rectangulaire avec un couvercle plat. Il devait évoquer la maison de l'esprit du défunt. Le rectangle peint à la tête avec la décoration et la représentation d'une double porte nous donne une idée des maisons de l'époque.
Hübsch bemalter Sarg des Nacht-anch, gefunden in einem Felsengrab in Beni Hassan. Der Sarg ist ein schönes Beispiel für den klassischen Typ des Mittleren Reiches, ein einfacher rechteckiger Kasten mit einem flachen Deckel. Es war beabsichtigt, das Haus der Seele des Verstorbenen darzustellen; die bemalte Seitenwand am Kopfende mit ihrem quadratischen Muster und der Darstellung einer zweifachen Tür vermittelt einen Eindruck von einem Wohnhaus aus dieser Zeit.
Il sarcofago finemente dipinto di Nakht-ankh, scoperto in una tomba rupestre a Beni Hasan. Il sarcofago è un buon esempio del tipo classico del Medio Regno, una semplice cassa rettangolare con un coperchio piatto. Era destinato a rappresentare la Casa dello Spirito del defunto; il pannello dipinto sulla testa con un motivo a quadri e la rappresentazione di due porte dà l'idea di un'abitazione del tempo.
Sarcófago minuciosamente pintado de Nakhtankh, descoberto num túmulo construído no rochedo em Beni Hassan. Este sarcófago é um bom exemplo do tipo clássico do Império Médio: uma caixa simples e rectangular com uma tampa lisa. Era destinado a representar a casa do Ka do defunto. O painel pintado da cabeceira, com o seu desenho quadriculado e representação de portas duplas, dá uma certa ideia duma residência da época.
Sarcófago pintado de Najt-anj, hallado en una tumba excavada en la roca en Beni Hasan. Este es un buen ejemplo del modelo clásico del Reino Medio: caja rectangular con tapa lisa. Pretendía representar la casa del espíritu del difunto. El motivo cuadriculado y la doble puerta, pintados en la cabecera del sarcófago, dan una idea de la casa tipo en aquellos tiempos.

General Comment
Text comment: In the vertical line of text on the left-hand side of the coffin some words are missing and the god Duamutef's name is mis-spelled as dua-djt-ef. The lid of the coffin has two lines of text running from head to foot, although both are incomplete enough remains to enable a rough translation. In the upper line Nut has caused the deceased to exist ( as a god ), while in the lower line Anubis will have been asked to ferry the deceased across the sky and mount up to the Lord of Heaven. Disposition: Each side of the coffin has a horizontal line of inscription along the upper edge and four vertical columns dividing the side into three square panels. Iconography: The panel of the coffin nearest to the head on the left-hand side has a double wedjet eye painted on it, this was to enable the deceased to see out. The body was placed on it's left side, facing east and to the area of the tomb where the offerings were made. The doors painted on the head end allowed the spirit to exit the coffin and partake of the offerings left for it.
