Coffins in Egyptian times were
highly decorated with inscriptions and representations of gods, like Anubis,
who would protect the dead person on the journey to the next world. The body
would be mummified before it was placed into the wooden coffin, as it had to
be preserved for it to enjoy the afterlife. This 5.9cm tall mini bronze is made of a base white metal and
bronze plated.
The
mini bronze is supplied in a clear acetate box with an insert showing hieroglyphic
images and historical information.
