CMA-71.2254 - Psamtik-Seneb

3D Model

The sarcophagus of Psamtik-Seneb (CMA 71.2254) (Harrison 2007) was excavated by Henri Gaulthier at Heliopolis in 1931 (Gauthier 1933). The sarcophagus was found looted, with basin intact but the cover broken into a number of pieces. Both are decorated and inscribed with funerary texts. The piece eventually entered the art market and was restored at least twice after excavation1. It was purchased at auction by Walter P. Chrysler in 1971 and subsequently gifted to the Chrysler Museum of Art in Norfolk, VA.
