Painted wooden inner coffin shaped like a standing/laminated human figure, with the deceased’s face and crossed arms in front of the chest, surrounded by extensive painted hieroglyphic texts and ornamental bands.

The image shows a tall, narrow, anthropoid inner coffin painted in bright yellow, blue, red, and black outlines. The face has a stylized wig/beard arrangement and a calm expression; the arms are crossed at the chest with hands positioned over the body. Vertical columns and horizontal registers of hieroglyphic signs fill much of the coffin, framed by decorative borders and patterned bands. The legs end in a pointed/rounded base. No modern labels, seals, or Greek/Coptic/Arabic writing are visible. The ground truth catalogue description specifies wood with gesso and paint; these materials are consistent with the painted surface and coffin form. A specific royal name/cartouche is not clearly legible from the provided resolution, and the name of Khonsu cannot be confirmed.
