The term ‘coffin’ is usually applied to the rectangular or anthropoid container in which the Egyptians placed the mummified body, whereas the word ‘sarcophagus’ (Greek: ‘flesh-eating’) is used to refer only to the stone outer container, invariably encasing one or more coffins. From an anthropoid coffin, the clay face is with protruding ears, opened mouth, traces of paint to the eyes, the short arms folded over the chest. Covered with some earthen encrustation. Mounted on a base. 18th Dynasty. Gaza
