Coffin Details Egyptian Life
The crown worn by the king depicted on the coffin resembles the White Crown of Upper Egypt. The crook and flail that are being held by the king are classic examples of royal regalia in ancient Egypt. Information on the coffin suggests that it was made 2,500 years ago in the Upper Egyptian city of Akhim during the Twenty-Sixth Dynasty.
