This coffin lid, made for the lady Tanakhtnettahat, a chantress in the temple of the god Amun at Karnak, depicts her outfitted in a full wig adorned with her finest jewelry. A fillet of lotus flowers and petals encircles the top of her head, and round earrings peek out from beneath her wig. The lappets of the wig are gathered in beaded bands and overlay a shawl-like broad collar. A winged goddess is spread across the chest of the coffin lid, and below are twinned scenes of an enthroned Osiris receiving offerings from Tanakhtnettahat. Below this is a composition of Isis and Nephthys worshipping the fetish of Abydos, which is flanked by Tanakhtnettahat adoring a ram-headed deity. The pattern of a central pattern of amuletic devices and gods and goddesses being venerated by the coffin owner continues on the remainder of the base of the coffin. At the foot end of the lid, goddesses are shown mourning a mummified figure.
