Middle Kingdom This mummiform coffin was found nested inside two larger rectangular coffins (see 12.183.11a and 12.183.11b). Inside was the mummy of an middle-aged man, now in the Peabody Museum at Harvard. It is made of wood covered with linen to which was applied a thick coat of black pitch. Both the gilded face and tripartite wig, which was overlaid with rows of black faience inlays, identify the deceased as divine. The long trapezoidal beard is of a type previously reserved for royalty, and the extensive broad collar is modeled in stucco that has been painted red, green, and black with stripes of gold foil between the rows.Developed during the Middle Kingdom, as an extension of the funerary mask, the mummiform coffin represents a new type of receptacle for the body. It would have been placed on its side so that it could look out of the wedjat eyes painted on both of the rectangular coffins in which it was enclosed..

Hutzel, Max 1960-1990 Post-medieval: paintings on canvas, paintings on wood, wooden church furnishings Governing Body: Abbazia di Casamari General Notes: This record is for the pinacoteca which is part of the Museo Archeologico, housed within the Abbey of Casamari. Hutzel assigned it a separate numbering sequence. German-born photographer and scholar Max Hutzel (1911-1988) photographed in Italy from the early 1960s until his death. The result of this project, referred to by Hutzel as Foto Arte Minore, is thorough documentation of art historical development in Italy up to the 18th century, including objects of the Etruscans and the Romans, as well as early Medieval, Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque monuments. Images are organized by geographic region in Italy, then by province, city, site complex and monument.Toggle 18th century China. Toggle. China. 18th century. Nephrite. Jade
