The Coffin of Djedmonthuiufankh in the National Museum of Antiquities at Leiden I
by R Van Walsem
Published 31 December 1997
This book is an in-depth study of a XXIst-early XXIInd Dynasty
anthropoid coffin. It is modelled on a combination of D.L. Clarke's
analytical and E. Panofsky's iconographic/iconological approaches to
archaeological and art historical data respectively. The introductory
chapter is followed by an "Analytical Description" which consists of two
parts. In "Technical Aspects" the data are handled typologically and
statistically, and the coffin's place among its corpus is established.
In "Iconographic Description and Analysis" all decorative motifs and
individual (often unique) vignettes are studied in detail. The
"Preliminary Iconological Synthesis" in which the coffin and its corpus
are placed in the broad cultural-historical framework at Thebes,
concludes this volume. The book contains tables, diagrams, and over 500
illustrations.
