| Riepilogo: | Discovered in the royal cache of Deir el-Bahari in 1881, the coffin of.Thutrnose Ill serves as a striking example of the treatment of earlier royal coffins and burial equipment during the 21st Dynasty. Here, this coffin receives the attention it has long lacked, including an in-depth study and proposed reconstruction of its exterior decoration. First, the coffin's movement is tracked from its original burial place (KV 34) to the Deir el-Bahari cache (TT 320), along with a summary of the basis of the coffin's attribution to Thutmose Ill. Second, an overview of the coffin's preserved exterior decoration is given, with an analysis of particular motifs and iconography. Third, the same is done for the interior decoration which, unlike that of the exterior is completely intact. Fourth, the preserved hieroglyphic and hieratic texts are translated with commentary. Finally, the author concludes with a discussion of the coffin's role and function within the evolution of 18th Dynasty royal coffin decoration. Some highlights of the detailed study of the coffin of Thutmose Ill include: the earliest evidence of the vulture-cobra motif at the king's forehead in the 18th Dynasty; the use of a matting motif to decorate the interior, to aid in the king's protection and regeneration in the afterlife; and a hieratic joint-inscription, the only-known example from a royal coffin to date. |
