This finely crafted ๐˜”๐˜ถ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฎ๐˜บ and cartonnage coffin belonged to Tentdinebu, dating from approximately 943โ€“720 B.C., during Dynasty 22 of Egyptโ€™s Third Intermediate Period.

Tentdinebu was an ancient Egyptian woman who lived during the 18th Dynasty, around 1550โ€“1292 BCE. Her name, which means โ€œShe belongs to gold,โ€ reflects a close connection to the goddess Hathor, who was often associated with gold, beauty, and femininity.

Tentdinebu is known from her funerary artifacts, including a beautifully painted coffin and mummy mask that illustrate the artistry and religious symbolism of her time.
