Coffins of Princess Henettawy at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in Boston, Mass. Henettawy, daughter of King Pinedjem I, was a Chantress of Amen, Flutist of But and Mistress of the Harem of Amen. She appears to have been about 70-years-old at her death and was buried in a rough, rock-cut chamber with several other members of the ruling priestly family of Menkheperre in Thebes. When the tomb was opened by the Metropolitan Museum of Art Expedition in 1924, they discovered that the gilded face and hands had been hacked off Henettawy’s coffin. This coffin is one of the finest of this period (Dynasty 21, 1070-946 B.C.), with intricate low-relief decoration carved in a thin layer of plaster covering the wooden coffin and then painted. On one of the coffin sides, Henettawy is shown in the Hall of Judgment accompanied by Thoth, the ibis-headed god of wisdom and writing. Her heart is being weighed by Anubis, who holds the scales. She holds her arms up, with a feather of truth in each hand. The motifs on the lid show scarabs and other winged protective gods and deities. Aug. 16, 2017
