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 burial equipment was included.

Tabakmut has no titles and his name is typically female. The use of a woman's name for a man may have been a mistake of the undertakers.On this coffin, the head is covered with a striated tripartite wig, with a hole under the chin for a now-missing beard. Tabakmut's fisted hands emerge from an elaborate floral collar that covers his shoulders and chest. Below this, scenes relating to the adoration of Osiris fill the lid. The name of the deceas
