Description
This fragment belonged to the lid of the monarch's mummiform sarcophagus. He is portrayed as Osiris, eternal ruler of the netherworld. The broken beard originally had a curled tip.
This sarcophagus was placed inside a box-shaped outer one of red granite. The two were found smashed and displaced by ancient robbers. Both sarcophagi have been restored on location from extant fragments in the tomb and a cast of his face.
20th Dynasty, reign of Ramesses VI (about 1143-1136 BC), from Western Thebes, Valley of the Kings, tomb of Ramesses VI.
