Coffin of Khnumhotep

Coffin of Khnumhotep. Dimensions: With closed lid: L. 209 cm (82 5/16 in.); H. 81.3 cm (32 in.); W. 54.2 cm (21 5/16 in.). Dynasty: Dynasty 12. Date: ca. 1981-1802 B.C.. The coffin of Khnumhotep is decorated on the exterior with a scheme typical of the mid- to late Twelfth Dynasty, that is the period spanning the reigns of pharaohs Amenemhat II and Amenemhat III. One the coffin's sides, the panels framed by the horizontal and vertical inscriptions are filled with the tall, narrow niches of a palace-façade motif, with the addition of two large eyes in the north panel on the east (front) side. This motif, employed by Twelfth Dynasty kings on their sarcophagi, emulates the facade of the enclosure wall of the third Dynasty pyramid complex of King Djoser. For the mummy of Khnumhotep see 12.182.131c.
