Hearst Museum object titled Coffin, accession number 6-19930.1, described as The coffin of a 10-to-12-year-old child named Patjenef. The coffin is a four-poster rectangular coffin with vaulted lid. The head-end lunette has iconography from the Book of the Earth. The rectangular panel below the head-end lunette has a winged image of Nephthys, while the panel on foot-end displays a winged image of Isis. Both sides of the coffin are adorned with alternating pairs of djed-pillars and tyet symbols. The interior bottom of the basin features an image of Nut painted in red ochre on a whitewashed background, and the interior of the vaulted lid has four sons of Horus painted in red ochre on a whitewashed background. Each of the two vault planks directly above the sides of the coffin box contains a row of 17 kneeling guardian deities, each holding a knife. Remains of texts and images above the guardians and on the vault planks above indicate another row of similar guardian deities, perhaps for a total of 68 guardians. The texts consist of statements of protection and benefits for the coffin owner in the afterlife by various deities (Osiris, Sokar, Anubis, Nephthys, Ptah-Sokar-Osiris) on the coffin posts, by the guardians on the coffin sides, by the goddesses Isis and Nephthys on the coffin ends, and in the text accompanying imagery from the Book of the Earth on the head-end lunette. According to Barbara Richter, "a study of the paleography suggests two hands wrote the hieroglyphic text. Multivalent hieroglyphs allow multiple interpretations of some examples of the owner's name and titles, allowing relevant secondary meanings." Generally, the coffin is in good condition, but it has one missing plank in the vaulted top, and a missing lower portion of the plank above side 3 (i.e., the "east" side, if head end is "north" and foot end is "south"). There is some loss of texts on posts and ends of coffin box, and complete loss of text on the central plank of the vaulted top.
