Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Two canopic coffins, originals in sheet gold with inlay of glass, lapis lazuli, carnelian, obsidian and rock crystal. H. 39,5 cm, w. 11 cm. Each of the two miniature coffins designed to hold the King Tutankhamun's viscera consists of two beaten gold cases glued together. While the decoration inside the case was chasework, the outside was inlaid with coloured cells of glass and semi-precious stones. On the sides at upper arm level the goddesses Wadjet (serpent) and Nekhbet (vulture) spread their wings protectively. The canopic coffins look like miniature editions of the middle coffin, and unlike the latter they were originally made for a predecessor of Tutankhamun's, as indicated by the altered cartouches with the King's names.
Español: Dos ataúdes canópicos, originales en lámina de oro con incrustaciones de vidrio, lapislázuli, cornalina, obsidiana y cristal de roca, alt. 39,5 cm, anch. 11 cm. Cada uno de los dos ataúdes en miniatura, concebidos para alojar las vísceras del rey, está formado por dos recipientes de oro repujado unidos con cola. El interior de los recipientes está cincelado y el exterior presenta incrustaciones de vidrios de colores y piedras semipreciosas. En los costados, a la altura de los brazos, las diosas Uadyet (la serpiente) y Nejbet (el buitre) despliegan sus alas en actitud protectora. Los ataúdes canópicos parecen versiones en miniatura del ataúd intermedio y, al igual que éste, como indican las alteraciones en los cartuchos con los nombres del rey, se fabricaron para un predecesor de Tutankhamón. |
