The quartzite sarcophagus. Detail
Detail. The decoration of the sarcophagus is dominated by the four tutelary deities Isis,Nephtys, Selkis and Neith, carved in hight relief to the traditional proportions of the pre-Amarna. They stand at each of the corners, their winged arms outstretched to envelop the box in a protective embrace. Each long side of the sarcophagus is decorated with one horizontal and six vertical columns of deeply incised hieroglyphs, and, at its westernmost end, an incised wedjat-eye. The east and west ends of the box are similary inscribed with a single horizontal band of text and a further 14 verticals.
