Abstract
This article discusses a small wooden Osiris coffin stored at the SMAEK, the Egyptian Museum collection at München, Germany, an item that warrants investigation due to its unusual and interesting representation of Osiris. This study included macro examination of the piece itself, with the help of the museum’s conservator, searching for information in the museum inventory, and using the available published bibliography. The goals of the investigation were to gain an understanding of the possible function of this object, and establish the identification of the owner of the tomb who commissioned such a piece.
