Abstract
This paper studies an anthropoid wooden coffin in Cairo's Egyptian Museum (CG. 61010.1-2). The coffin's owner is %n(⸗j)-jw, the scribe and high steward of an unmentioned god's wife. The coffin is typical of the early Eighteenth Dynasty white-type, covered by hieroglyph, cursive hieroglyph and hieratic which contain Htp (r)dj(w) nsw, jmAxjj formulae and parts of chapter no. 151 of the Book of the Dead. Iconographical, textual and orthographical evidences date this coffin between the reign of Amenhotep I and Hatshepsut.
