“Yellow” Coffins from Thebes

A new formal typology for the 'yellow' coffin corpus from Ancient Thebes, dating to the 21st Dynasty, reveals significant variations in style and layout, offering deeper insights into coffin decoration evolution. This study builds on nine previously unpublished burial assemblages, employing a rigorous theoretical and methodological framework to analyze their characteristics. By systematically categorizing these coffins, researchers can better understand the cultural and artistic developments during this period, providing a fresh perspective on Theban funerary practices.
