Cosmetic Box from the tomb of Sennedjem

New Kingdom, Ramesside

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 126

The interior of this box is divided into four compartments. It was probably used to store the cosmetic utensils of the deceased. The cover has two flaps attached with pivots at the edge of the box.

The inscription bears the names of Iyti and Ramose, both of whom were related to Sennedjem in whose tomb the box was found. Other objects in the collection that were discovered in the same tomb can be viewed here.
