The silver coffin of Shoshenq II The use of the falcon's face instead of the king's own is something that only occurs on coffins of pharaohs and cartonages of the early 22nd dynasty. Although the decoration on the body follows the standard decorational pattern: A ram headed, vulture-bodied image of the sun-god is followed by winged figures of Isis and Nephthys and then the four sons of Horus. On the feet are the protective kneeling forms of Selqet and Neith. |
