One of the coffin cases (troughs) from the burial of Butehamon, with a painted frieze along the rim and a decorated interior that would have held the body or the nested inner coffin.
Butehamon was a royal scribe of the necropolis at Deir el-Medina at the end of the 20th and start of the 21st Dynasty (around 1080-1060 BCE), a time when the necropolis staff were also rewrapping and reburying the plundered royal mummies. His painted wooden burial ensemble, made up of an outer coffin, an inner coffin and a mummy board, is one of the best-preserved of the period, covered inside and out with gods, protective figures and texts in yellow varnish.
