Lid of an anthropoid sarcophagus of a woman with clearly modeled legs. The head is sculpturally modeled—very carefully. The face is triangular with a strong, flat, strongly forward chin. Large, almond-shaped eyes are plastically developed. The nose is straight, the mouth is small with fleshy lips, clearly highlighted. The wig is schematically designed. On the chest is a richly polychromed nine-row necklace. Below is a representation of a pectoral cross in the form of a winged vulture. The offering formula running through the center and on the sides divides the surface of the lid into six undecorated fields. Sacrificial formulas, vulture iconography, necklace iconography, black type, wigs, hieroglyphs. c. 1400–c. 1295 BC; New Kingdom, late 18th Dynasty. Deir el-Medina grave 1352, western necropolis. Sarcophagus lid; height 193 cm, width 53 cm., A painted sculptural object resembling a reclining human figure with a stylized face and crossed hands, shown from a head-on perspective. The surface shows worn painted areas in dark tones, with visible patches of black and deep gray, and accents of muted gold and earthy orange. The face and hands area have traces of reddish-brown and beige, and there are several narrow vertical decorative stripes in a faded gold color. The background is a smooth gradient of pale gray and light lavender, and the object sits on a neutral light gray surface.
