Clay Coffin Masks from Zagazig University Museum
Clay coffins were used in ancient Egypt since the Predynastic Period until the Roman times and adopted the anthropoid shape in the New Kingdom. Those coffins were fashioned with clay slabs from bottom to top. The upper part was cut after the clay dried and was made like a mask representing the deceased's face and chest, then reunited with the coffin after the placement of the mummy. The Zagazig university museum houses eighteen clay coffin facemasks acquired from the excavations at Tell Basta on the eastern Delta. Of these only three were published in details, and measures and some photos of the rest were provided. The present study offers a description and typology of twelve of them, shedding light on an ancient Egyptian treasure unknown to many people.
