Outer Coffin of the Singer of Amun-Re, Henettawyca.


The Mistress of the House, Singer of Amun-Re, Henettawy died at the young age of twenty-one. She was buried in a plundered tomb, which had originally been the resting place of Minmose, an official of Hatshepsut. The burial was a modest one, including a set of coffins and personal jewellery. Henettawy's body was not embalmed but simply wrapped in layers of linen bandages.
Aside from her rather simple personal jewellery, Henettawy's main burial equipment consisted of two splendid coffins and a mummy board, fitting one into the other like parts of a Russian doll. Both coffins and the innermost lid are shaped like wrapped mummies with elaborate masks fastened over the heads.
