Catalogue Description: Model limestone sarcophagus inscribed for a lady named Iwy. The sarcophagus, which is anthropoid and mummiform, was made to house a mummiform ushabti (37. 129E) belonging to the same lady. The face is framed by a heavy tripartite wig and a broad collar. Below the collar is a figure of Nut surmounting a column of text. On the sides of the body of the sarcophagus are vertical black lines dividing the sides into parallels. Condition: Coffin is chipped on the lower right hand corner of the body and there is also a large chip in the right side. Some structural decay has caused losses from the right side of the lid. Several cracks appear in both body and lid.
