This volume proposes a theoretical and methodological framework for the study of 'yellow' coffins, which is one of the most extensive corpora of funerary objects from Ancient Egypt, and the most complex in terms of decoration. It presents a synthetic view on Egyptian coffin decoration during the II millennium B.C. together with in-depth examination of a sample of nine previously unpublished burial assemblages, involving 18 different objects. Dating from the 21st Dynasty, these objects were chosen in order to showcase the stages of development in coffin decoration detected in the 'yellow' corpus, as well as variations in style and layout.
