A wooden anthropoid coffin dating to the late Twenty-fifth or early Twenty-sixth Dynasty. Parts of the coffin are constructed of wood, which is covered by painted textile to provide a smooth surface. Highly decorated with hieroglyphs and depictions of deities. The interior of the lid is decorated with a large image of the goddess Nut. The coffin was originally inscribed for Ankhapakhered, son of Padiese and Tawer, as can mainly be seen with the inscriptions on the interior of the coffin. At an unknown date, perhaps the Ptolemaic Period, the coffin was usurped for a man called Djedher, a Stolist at Akhmim, who was the son of Harsiese (also a Stolist at Akhmim) and Ibity. The usurpations are evident on the exterior of the lid only. The titles might suggest that the coffin was transferred to Akhmim for reuse.
