Provenance

From Thebes, Tomb of Nebamun. 1968

Portion of a Wall of a Tomb

This raised relief cut from a tomb shows the deceased together with his wife. He is represented with a long wig falling down his back and wears a necklace, two bracelets and a white kilt.

The scene is broken off on the side of his wife, but it is evident that she is embracing her husband lovingly. The wife usually played the part of Isis, by whose love Osiris was resurrected.

It is to be noticed also that the man's skin is ochre, whereas that of his wife is lighter, in accordance with Egyptian artistic convention.

Above the scene, there are four columns of hieroglyphics, in which the wife is described as "the beloved one."

Double coffin of Usirmose

Double coffin of Usirmose

Three anthropoid coffins of the Theban priest Usirmose are known. The exterior coffin is in the Musée Curtius (Eg. 83) in Liège, and the two others are kept in Brussels. The larger of the two coffin bears the face of Usirmose, who wears a simple striped wig, and on his chest is a collar. The lid bears a single vertical column of hieroglyphic text; one further line of inscriptions runs round the base. The smaller coffin, in which the mummy was placed, is entirely covered with texts and with representation of a variety of beings and divine objects. A figure of the goddess Nut is to be found on the underside of the lid, while the bottom of the base depicts a djed-pillar (a symbol of Osiris) placed above an 'Isis knot'.
