Wood . Coffin of Cleopatra, daughter of Candace, 
member of the same family as Soter, (see Case B B B.,) 
and similar in shape and design; on the arched part of 
the cover are judgment scenes before Ra and Osiris ; 
a train of inferior deities, seated in porches, and holding 
swords in their hands ; two rows of hawks, with human 
and animal heads ; on one side is a boat, with the disk ol 
Kneph, attached to a snake drawn by four deities ; on the 
other, the boat with the disk of the right symbolic eye, 
attached to a snake drawn by three jackals; before the 
boats, the mummy of the deceased brought by Anubis 
to Osiris and Ra, attended by emblems of the soul, cy- 
nocephali, the genii of the Amend, and inferior deities. 
At the ends are the emblem of the soul, the mummy of 
the deceased, the coffin watched by jackals, the Hat, 
the scarabaeus with expanded wings, and the scarabseus 
in the boat adored by Isis and Nephthys. The interior 
represents the heaven, as in the coffin of Soter, sur¬ 
rounded by zodiacal signs, but without the boat; at the 
sides of the head are four tortoises. The upper end has 
the hawk of Ra, and the lower, the cow of Athor, seated 
on a pedestal. On the sides are the twenty-four hours, 
as female figures, twelve on each side, each procession 
closed by a thirteenth female, perhaps personifications of 
the morning and evening star. The flat board on which 
the mummy of the deceased was laid has a large female 
figure, with pendent arms, full face; at the sides of the 
head are Isis and Nephthys kneeling, each attended by 
another deity. 5 ft. 10 in. 1., 2 ft. 1 in. b., 1 ft. llj in, h.
