Gilded Sarcophagi


Here are some gilded sarcophagi 𓅱𓇋𓀾π“ͺ at the British Museum!

TheΒ British MuseumΒ has so many different sarcophagi 𓅱𓇋𓀾π“ͺ in their collection that it was almost overwhelming trying to see everything!!! Sarcophagi 𓅱𓇋𓀾π“ͺ such as these are usually made of wood 𓆱𓏏𓏺 with a gold leaf overlay – it makes it look like the sarcophagus 𓅱𓇋𓀾 is made of pure gold when it is not! These are decorated beautifully π“„€ with many of the gods π“ŠΉπ“ŠΉπ“ŠΉ and goddesses π“ŠΉπ“ŠΉπ“ŠΉπ“ of the Egyptian pantheon! The sarcophagus 𓅱𓇋𓀾 on the left contains a dedication to Osiris π“Ήπ“Š¨π“€­, which runs down the center of the lid!
