The mummy
was placed in a brightly painted wooden coffin. The elaborate decoration
on Nes-mut-aat-neru's coffin fits her status as a member of the aristocracy.
A central band contains symbols of rebirth flanked by panels featuring
images of god and goddesses. Look for the central panel that shows the
winged scarab beetle hovering protectively over the mummy (probably meant
to represent the mummy of the Nes-mut-aat-neru herself).
