Commentaire général


Provenance: 
 Found in situ in the tomb of Bakenkhonsu, TT35, the body was no longer in the tomb, which appears to have been robbed in antiquity.

Site: 
Found in situ TT35, belonging to Bakenkhonsu. The body was no longer in the tomb and it appears to have been robbed in antiquity.

Material: 
A rose coloured granite.

Preservation: 
 The sarcophagus was destroyed when a bomb landed on the museum in May 1941, during World War II but has now been rebuilt with some restoration.

Text comment: 
  On the sides of the sarcophagus are relief scenes depicting Thoth holding a standard bearing a star and the four sons of Horus, with the appropriate accompanying text adoring Bakenkhonsu. Other significant events in his life are recorded on a statue now in Munich, including the construction of a temple for Ramesses II at Karnak.

Disposition: 
 On the sides of the sarcophagus are bands of funerary text and carvings of Thoth holding a standard, along with the four sons of Horus, the protectors of the deceaseds internal organs.

Iconography: 
 The sky goddess Nut is depicted as a winged figure across the lid of the sarcophagus, a band of text below is a prayer to her.
