Anthropoid sarcophagus made from polychrome wood, belonging to the Pure-priest Ankhefenkhons. It has two lids; an inner one, which was situated directly on top of the mummy, and an outer one, with which the sarcophagus was closed off.The surfaces are lavishly decorated with themes and motifs of ancient symbolical and mythological content: divinities, scarabs, funerary formulas etc. The deceased is portrayed on both lateral surfaces of the coffin as he is taking part in the cortege following the divine boat occupied by the sun god Re (shown once with a human head and once with a ram's head). At the bottom of the sarcophagus, in the part corresponding to the feet, Ankhefenkhons, the sarcophagus' owner, is shown as he is being led before Osiris who is seated on his throne. The texts are written in retrograde writing.

Sarcófago del sacerdote "uab" Anjefenjonsu. La tapadera exterior representa a un hombre con las manos cerradas sobre la esclavina "usej", La peluca es tripartita y el cuerpo esta cubierto de inscripciones y divinidades, como es habitual en este tipo de sarcófagos.  En la caja aparece el dios Re en su naos sobre su barca, que debe transportar el "akh" del difunto. Este  es  acogido por una diosa y comienza entonces la procesión: guardianes de las puertas del más allá con cuchillos y serpientes en la mano le conducen hasta los pies del sarcófago donde  se halla el dios Osiris que espera la llegada de Anjefenjonsu. Los textos nos relatan el paso del difunto y hace alusion a los guardianes. El interior de la caja está decorado con las divinidades que habitan la Duat.
