Abstract | ||||
This article serves to publish the remains of two Ptolemaic Osiris corn-mummy coffins, currently kept in the storeroom of the Haram Museum. These two coffins were among five discovered during the 1994 excavation of the ring road around the Giza plateau. The two coffins are decorated with hieroglyphic texts and date back to the period of kings Ptolemy IV and VI. These coffin styles were found in Karnak, Oxyrhynchos, and the Giza plateau. | ||||
