Outer Coffin of Nephthys
Middle Kingdom
The mummy of Nephthys (11.150.15c) was buried in a coffin set that included an outer rectangular wooden coffin and an inner mummy-shaped coffin (11.150.15b) made out of cartonnage (layers of linen with plaster). On the outer coffin is her name and her title "mayor’s daughter," but both are a later addition, indicating that the coffin was originally made for another person.
