EGYPTIAN
468. EGYPTIAN WOODEN FLOOR BOARD OF SARCOPHAGUS, Middle
Kingdom, 12th Dynasty, ca. 1850 BC. Extremely rare and interesting floor board from
the bottom of a large sarcophagus. Originally all inside sections of the sarcophagus
would have had magical spells upon it to instruct the person for the after-life, as does
this piece with its hieratic inscription. This bottom section contains coffin text, spell
335 which relates to the judgment of the dead. Typically this spell is located on the
lid or side panels and there is only one other recorded example of this occurring on the
bottom and resides on a sarcophagus of Sobekhotep located in the British Museum.
The script on our piece is written in two different colors as to state questions and
answers and finally there are traces of blue which represent water, the means of travel
to the After-Life. Custom mount. Ex Chicago Collection, acquired in Cairo in the late
