Summary
[edit]| Description |
English: The sarcophagus belongs to Djedmut, singer of the god Amon-Ra of Karnak, and dates from the beginning of Dynasty XXII. In this historic period of serious economic crisis, the sarcophagus became the most important element in the grave goods. No longer the time of costly, richly decorated tombs, instead the iconographic and textual apparatus which once covered the tomb walls is transferred to the sarcophagus. Evident limits of space ensured that the scenes and texts were “synthesised”, occupying the entire available surface in a sort of horror vacui. The decoration of this sarcophagus is particularly elegant and refined, and is extraordinarily executed in every last detail. The grave goods of the age included an external sarcophagus (as in the case of the item in question, belonging to Djedmut), an internal sarcophagus (recently discovered in the Museum of Rochelle in France), and a wooden cover placed directly over the mummy (now lost). The sarcophagus of Djedmut falls within the category of so-called “yellow coffins”, characterised by a decoration on a yellow background, a symbol of eternal regeneration, and a patina of translucent varnish of vegetable origin on the surface.
Español: El sarcófago pertenece a Djedmut, cantora del dios Amon-Ra de Karnak, y data del comienzo de la Dinastía XXII. En este período histórico de grave crisis económica, el sarcófago se convirtió en el elemento más importante entre los bienes funerarios. Ya no era la época de tumbas costosas y ricamente decoradas, en cambio, el aparato iconográfico y textual que una vez cubría las paredes de la tumba se trasladó al sarcófago. Los límites evidentes de espacio aseguraron que las escenas y textos fueran “sintetizados”, ocupando toda la superficie disponible en una especie de horror vacui. La decoración de este sarcófago es particularmente elegante y refinada, y está extraordinariamente ejecutada en cada último detalle. Los bienes funerarios de la época incluían un sarcófago externo (como en el caso del artículo en cuestión, perteneciente a Djedmut), un sarcófago interno (recientemente descubierto en el Museo de Rochelle en Francia), y una cubierta de madera colocada directamente sobre la momia (ahora perdida). El sarcófago de Djedmut cae dentro de la categoría de los llamados “cofres amarillos”, caracterizados por una decoración sobre un fondo amarillo, un símbolo de regeneración eterna, y una pátina de barniz translúcido de origen vegetal en la superficie.

Fini le temps des tombes coûteuses et richement décorées, à la place, l'appareil iconographique et textuel qui recouvrait autrefois les murs de la tombe est transféré sur le sarcophage. Les limites évidentes d'espace ont assuré que les scènes et les textes étaient “synthétisés”, occupant toute la surface disponible dans une sorte d'horreur vacui. La décoration de ce sarcophage est particulièrement élégante et raffinée, et est extraordinairement exécutée dans les moindres détails. Les biens funéraires de l'époque comprenaient un sarcophage externe (comme dans le cas de l'objet en question, appartenant à Djedmut), un sarcophage interne (récemment découvert dans le Musée de Rochelle en France), et un couvercle en bois placé directement sur la momie (maintenant perdu). Le sarcophage de Djedmut appartient à la catégorie des soi-disant “coffres jaunes”, caractérisés par une décoration sur un fond jaune, un symbole de régénération éternelle, et une patine de vernis translucide d'origine végétale sur la surface.
