Abstract

This paper deals with the exterior decorations and texts on the inner coffin of PA-dj-imn in Cairo Museum as representation of the Judgment of the Dead. Scenes on the lid of the coffin will be related to the ritualized Judgment of the Dead, while the case decorations will be considered as representation of the Hall of the Judgment. The scenes will be arranged in a sequence and will be dealt with as a single unity. The inner coffin of PA-di-imn dates to the reign of the High Priest Pinudjem II. Recently Niwiniski has provided a primary publication of the coffin in Cairo Museum.
