IDENTIFIERS ----------- id: 58790 accession number: E.GA.4331.1943 DATE AUDIT ---------- created: Saturday 6 August 2011 updated: Friday 13 August 2021 DESCRIPTIVE DATA ---------------- object type: Fragment of a wooden coffin board, made of two pieces of wood, showing the goddess Nephthys kneeling on the hieroglyphic sign for gold ‘nwb’. Above Nephthys’s head is her name ‘Nbt-Hwt’. Depictions of Nephthys and her sister Isis were included on coffins to provide protection to the body inside, in the same way that these goddesses protected Osiris’s body. The figure of Nephthys is painted in black outline and finished in red and green details. The skin has been left unpainted. Several yellow patches are visible. The upper side is also partially covered with a very thin layer of white paste. The wooden surface is not coated, except the painted areas and the small areas covered with a white plaster-like paste (mentioned above). There are some tool marks, especially on the unpainted side. The unpainted side is also covered with plant fibres and has an inserted wooden dowel, indicating that this side was adhered/connected to another element of the coffin. title: coffin LICENSING --------- text license status: CC0 image license status: CC-BY-NC-SA OWNERSHIP --------- instutition: The Fitzwilliam Museum department: Antiquities STABLE URL ---------- url: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/58790 CATEGORIES ------ category: funerary equipment DATING ------ creation date: 664 - 200 creation date earliest: 664 creation date latest: 200 DIMENSIONS ---------- dimension: Height units: m value: 0.328 dimension: Thickness units: m value: 0.037 dimension: Width units: m value: 0.184 EXHIBITIONS HISTORY ------------------- title: Death on the Nile: Uncovering the Afterlife of Ancient Egypt CITATIONS -------- Death on the Nile: Uncovering the Afterlife of Ancient Egypt --- IMAGES surrogate: large format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/ant/ant47/E_GA_4331_1943_1_201506_jas244_dc2.jpg height: 1024 pixels width: 586 pixels surrogate: mid format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/ant/ant47/mid_E_GA_4331_1943_1_201506_jas244_dc2.jpg height: 874 pixels width: 500 pixels surrogate: original format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/ant/ant47/E_GA_4331_1943_1_201506_jas244_dc2.jpg height: 1024 pixels width: 586 pixels surrogate: preview format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/ant/ant47/preview_E_GA_4331_1943_1_201506_jas244_dc2.jpg height: 437 pixels width: 250 pixels surrogate: large format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/ant/ant47/E_GA_4331_1943_2_201506_jas244_dc2.jpg height: 1024 pixels width: 588 pixels surrogate: mid format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/ant/ant47/mid_E_GA_4331_1943_2_201506_jas244_dc2.jpg height: 871 pixels width: 500 pixels surrogate: original format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/ant/ant47/E_GA_4331_1943_2_201506_jas244_dc2.jpg height: 1024 pixels width: 588 pixels surrogate: preview format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/ant/ant47/preview_E_GA_4331_1943_2_201506_jas244_dc2.jpg height: 435 pixels width: 250 pixels surrogate: large format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/565/657/large_E_GA_4331_1943_1_201506_jas244_mas.jpg height: 1444 pixels width: 1024 pixels surrogate: mid format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/565/657/mid_E_GA_4331_1943_1_201506_jas244_mas.jpg height: 705 pixels width: 500 pixels surrogate: original location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/E.GA.4331.1943_1_201506_jas244_mas.tif surrogate: preview format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/565/657/preview_E_GA_4331_1943_1_201506_jas244_mas.jpg height: 353 pixels width: 250 pixels surrogate: zoom format: pyramid tiff location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/565/657/E_GA_4331_1943_1_201506_jas244_mas.ptif height: 5828 pixels width: 4132 pixels surrogate: large format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/565/661/large_E_GA_4331_1943_2_201506_jas244_mas.jpg height: 1444 pixels width: 1024 pixels surrogate: mid format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/565/661/mid_E_GA_4331_1943_2_201506_jas244_mas.jpg height: 705 pixels width: 500 pixels surrogate: original location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/E.GA.4331.1943_2_201506_jas244_mas.tif surrogate: preview format: jpeg location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/565/661/preview_E_GA_4331_1943_2_201506_jas244_mas.jpg height: 353 pixels width: 250 pixels surrogate: zoom format: pyramid tiff location: https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/imagestore/portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/565/661/E_GA_4331_1943_2_201506_jas244_mas.ptif height: 5828 pixels width: 4132 pixels
