| Description |
Coffin of Asru (Acc. 1777.a-c) Asru and her two wooden coffins were presented to the Manchester Museum by Robert and William Garrett in 1825. They were the first Egyptian antiquities to enter the collection. The style of the coffins' decoration dates to between Dynasty 25-25 (c. 747-525 BC). Asru was a temple chantress at Karnak and was probably buried in western Thebes. Her mummy had been unwrapped before it arrived at the Museum. The inner and outer coffins are painted with religious scenes and inscriptions, identifying Asru as a priestess of Amun at Thebes. Her mummified internal organs were originally wrapped in linen and placed on her thighs in the burial (Acc. 11727.a-b). A reconstruction of Asru's face and head was made in the 1970s by Richard Neave. Modern examinations of the mummy indicate that Asru died around age 60 and suffered from arthritis and a parasitic bladder infection (bilharzia or schistosomiasis). |
