Egyptian Sarcophagi from the New Kingdom and the Late Period

As an Egyptologist and restorer I studied the painted wooden sarcophagi with mummies from the New Kingdom and the Late Period preserved by the Déri Museum in Debrecen. My research focused on the analysis of provenance and condition, the microscopic and chemical examination of timber and coat of paint, and the comparative technical examination of construction. I intend to present the provenance of the sarcophagi and their placement in space and time, the coffin-making techniques, ornaments and inscriptions in their post-restoration state. I compared the inscriptions of the sarcophagus from the New Kingdom with two other similar coffins found in the British Museum (Inventory No.: 29.580) and the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto (Inventory No.: 910.9/1- 2. Ta-khat) as well as the limestone stela of Nesmin (Inventory No.: Louvre c 291). Nesmin was the father of Hor and the corpse of the sarcophagus from the Late Period.

Having researched the genealogical tree of Nesmin i discovered the family of Hor in the book titled Die Spätägyptischen Totenstelen by Peter Munro. According to Munro, the stela of Hor's father is found in the Louvre Museum (Inventory No.: C 291). There are two different views about the age of the stela: Professor Munro dates the stela to the Saite Period but Professor Meulenaere dates it to the period of the 30th Dinasty of Egypt.

The conclusion of Professor Munro comes from the iconographic details of the stela (arm-bands, oil cones, dress shapes, etc.) that characterizes and refers to the stelae of the Saite Period; moreover, he did not find these motifs on any of the items from Sebbenytos.

On the other hand Professor Meulenaere claims that the process of archaizing existed during the period of the 30th Dinasty of Egypt in the same way as in the Saite Period. In addition, in his research on the kings of Sebbenytos he attributed the stelae to Nectanebo II—anx dt the king stands behind pr aA on the stela—and dated it to the 4th century (in agreement with Professor Munro), starting from the fact that the exterior of these relics are close to the 30th Dinasty of Egypt.

The ornaments of Hor's coffin rather refer to the Late Period than the Saite Period. This is indicated by the fact that the flat lower part of the coffin and the higher upper part of the coffin belong together. But my correspondence with Professor Meulenaere—based on a photo of the sarcophagus—confirms my point of view about the coffin preserved in the Déri Museum is derived from the period of the 30th Dinasty of Egypt or from even later. The date of the period of the 30th Dinasty is confirmed by the fact that there is a title on the stela of Nesmin (rx-nswt) which was used as a clerical title following the Saite Period.

Taking the aforementioned into consideration they managed to decipher the rhi wr title on Hor's coffin, that was the title of a great fighter-priest inherited from his father and that his mother was Taseri Min, dancer of the temple of Min. The coffin is from Ahmim.
