Egyptian coffin lid on display in Haslemere Museum, Surrey, UK, dating from circa 500 BC to 200 BC.

---

The coffin figure shows the remains of yellow paint on the face and therefore represents a female. The figure wears a black tripartite wig and a decorative collar displaying rows of coloured beads. Beneath are two eyes symbolising the protective powers of the God Horus. A winged scarab beetle in the centre of the figure's chest represents the god of creation, Khepri.
