Outer Coffin Inscribed for Tabakmut ca. 1000-950 B.C. Third Intermediate Period Tabakmut was one of the last burials in the main chamber of Tomb MMA 60. His anthropoid coffin set was relatively complete, with this outer coffin, an inner coffin (25.3.11a, b), and a mummy board (25.3.12), but no other equipment was included in his burial. The ready-made, stock coffins, with their false beards and fisted hands, are of the kind designed for men, and the mummy found inside was that of a male, twenty-five to thirty years old. However, the name Tabakmut, added in blue over the varnish in two places on the vertical inscrpitions, is typically female. Tabakmut had no titles, and there was no equipment other than the coffins included in his burial. In addition, the quality of his mummification was mediocre, thus he was clearly of lesser status than some of the other inhabitants of the tomb.The head of this coffin is covered with a striated tripartite wig, with a hole under the chin for a now-miss
