Geschichte des objektes

From the private collection of Joseph Mayer, given to the museum in 1867. For more information see Record 1 M13519 Liverpool Museum, Object History.
 The sarcophagus was found in Bakenkhonsu's tomb (TT 35) at Dra 'Abu el Naga on the West Bank at Thebes and was formerly in the collection of Viscount Valentia. Joseph Mayer bought the sarcophagus along with most of the Valentia collection at Sotheby's in 1852.

Algemeiner Kommentar

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.
