From the time of the 19th Dynasty, probably within the reign of Ramesses II (1279-1213BC). The outer and inner coffins were both highly decorated, including figures of the goddess Nut. The inner coffin is made of wood from the tamarisk and has been extensively decorated with gold leaf. Both the inner and outer coffins are decorated with scenes showing the barque of the sun god, the winged goddess Nut and other protective deities. The sons of Horus, Anubis and Thoth are depicted on the side of the case. The inside of the coffin is black. A large amount of resin was poured into the outer case and some of this has stuck to the inner coffin. Picture taken at the British Museum January 2007.
