The Silver Coffin of Shoshenq II

These small coffins were made to keep the internal organs of the king instead of canopic jars. 

They are miniature sarcophagi in the shape of the king wearing the Nemes royal headdress with a uraeus, royal cobra, on his forehead to protect him. The hands emerge from the mummy’s bandages to hold the Osiride scepters.

A vertical inscription on the body identifies the four sons of Horus, under whose protection the king’s organs were placed.

The silver coffin of king Shoshenq II representing the falcon god Seker with 4 canopic silver coffins. Third Intermediate Period, 22nd Dynasty, ca. 945-720 BC. Now in the Egyptian Museum, Cairo. JE 72159, 72160, 7216
