𝘔𝘶𝘮𝘮𝘺 and Coffin of Tentdinebu

This finely crafted 𝘔𝘶𝘮𝘮𝘺 and cartonnage coffin belonged to Tentdinebu, dating from approximately 943–720 B.C., during Dynasty 22 of Egypt’s Third Intermediate Period.

Tentdinebu was an ancient Egyptian woman who lived during the 18th Dynasty, around 1550–1292 BCE. Her name, which means “She belongs to gold,” 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.

These objects depict her as a noblewoman prepared for the afterlife, adorned with vivid colors, protective deities, and hieroglyphic prayers meant to ensure her eternal rebirth among the gods.
