Djeddjehutefankh at the Ashmolean Museum

Ashmolean Museum home  |  Canopic jars  |  Wall of Aspelta  Djeddjehutefankh mummy Meresamun Coffin

 

 

Djeddjehutefankh was a priest who lived during the 23rd or 24th Dynasty. On the day that I visited the museum I had the pleasure of watching a museum docent guide a group of primary school students through the Egyptian collection

 

Above: the nested coffins of Djeddjehutefankh provide the backdrop for a docent giving a tour of the Egyptian gallery
