The inside of
the base is painted with a
full-length figure of a goddess.
The lid again shows
Nes-mut-aat-neru's face, wig
and elaborate collar. Here
too the scarab beetle with
outstretched wings hovers
over the mummy. Below the
scarab look for a small scene
showing the deceased
Nes-mut-aat-neru
worshipping a god, and a
two-column inscription.
Finally the mummy and coffins were placed in a
rectangular outermost coffin made primarily out of
sycamore wood. The posts of the coffin are
inscribed with religious texts. On the top of the
coffin sits an alert jackal, probably a reference to
Anubis, the jackal-headed god who was the patron of
embalmers and protector of cemeteries.
These two wooden boxes filled with mud shawabti
figures were found with Nes-mut-aat-neru's elaborate
nested coffins. Shawabti figures were molded in the
shape of a mummified person, and were designed to do
any work that the gods asked the deceased's spirit to
do in the afterworld.

BURIAL MASKS
Masks were a very important aspect of Ancient Egyptian burials. In common
with the anthropoid coffin they provided the dead with a face in the
afterlife. In addition they also enabled the spirit to recognize the body.
As well as the famous golden mask of Tutankhamun
and the less well known solid gold mask of Psusennes.
