Painted coffin possibly from the Heracleopolis Magna. It features a three-headed god with the heads of a snake, a vulture and a lion. Three-headed gods are very rare and this is the only known image of this particular god. Also unusual is the 'upside down' writing of the name of the god Osiris in oval cartouches at the feet. The decoration suggests that the owner was an important person who lived in a regional centre, possibly near the Fayum.
