Photograph of a large anthropoid Egyptian coffin standing upright, with painted/detailed features on the coffin lid and an elongated rectangular interior section visible within the frame.
The image shows a single anthropoid coffin displayed vertically in a museum setting. The coffin lid forms a human-like face and upper torso, with carved/painted outlines for facial features and a central seam or panel running down the front. Dark side panels and the overall blocky, box-like lower section are visible, along with a rectangular base platform at the bottom. No clear cartouches, readable hieroglyphs, or legible text are visible at this resolution. There is no visible Greek/Coptic/Arabic script. The object is clearly wooden in appearance, consistent with a coffin; however, the mummified human remains and linen wrappings are not visible in this photograph.
