Lid from a mummiform sarcophagus bearing the name of Amon-Di-Es The deceased is adorned with a tripartite wig encircled by a headband, and a wide, multi-row necklace surmounted by a winged solar disk.

In the upper register, followed by a procession of deities, a throned Osiris faces the sons of Horus. The latter rest on a lotus. The next scene shows Qebehsenouf surrounded by two Nephthys. The last main register shows Anubis embalming the deceased on a lioness-headed bed. Two mourners stand on either side. On either side of the column bearing the deceased's name, winged cobras and Anubis in animal form. The inscriptions on some of the headbands are taken from the Book of the Dead and serve to guide and protect the deceased. At the foot of the coffin, the following formula: "Offering that the king gives to Osiris so that he may give an offering of bread and beer to Amon-di-Es" (female name). Above the tripartite wig, a scarab beetle. The inside of the lid is unfinished. Wood, stucco and polychromy. Restoration varnish. Possible repaints under the varnish layer.

Poggio Bracciolini. - Poggii Florentini oratoris clarissimi, ac sedis apo. Secretarii Operum Primae/secundae partis (in 1 vol.). (On the last text leaf:) Strasbourg, Johann Schott for Johannes Knobloch, 1513. Fol. 184 foliated leaves, 1 leaf, 1 white leaf. Title printed in red and black. With a folio-sized woodcut by Urs Graf (on p. 88v) and 16 (partly repeated) large woodcut initials, four of which are by Hans Baldung Grien. Modern half leather binding (signed Hedberg) with gilt-stamped spine title. VD16 ZV 12623, Adams P-1708, Fairfax Murray, German Books, 340, Hollstein, Urs Graf 299, third edition of the works of Poggio Bracciolini (1380-1459), greatly expanded compared to the editions of 1510 and 1511 and, like all editions prior to the Basel edition of 1538, extremely rare. The index lists 32 pieces that are available here in the first edition, including the translation of Lucius "Asinus", the forerunner of the better-known "Golden Ass" by Apuleius. As well as the bitter and defamatory attacks on his fellow countryman and fellow humanist Lorenzo Valla and many of the letters printed in the second part. The second part also contains the complete reprint of the Facetiae; these were not bound with many copies. The volume also contains one of the earliest descriptions of the baths of Baden in the canton of Aargau (fol. 113ff: "Poggi Florentini de Balneis prope Thuregum sitis descriptio"). The very beautiful woodcut by Urs Graf appears here in the first edition. It shows Joab killing his cousin Amasa; the caption above it reads: "In L. Vallam Livoris et Invidiae typus". The present copy corresponds in collation with the copy described by Adams under P-1708 and ends with a six-position "H". Overall a good copy, with wide margins, only slightly stained and with occasional traces of moisture. A few worm marks in the lower margin (sometimes touching the text). The most significant damage is the large hole on fol. 58, caused by the blackening of the top third of the leaf with brown ink, which caused ink erosion. The passage concerns the "Concubitus asini" in Lucius' "Asinus". The damage is fixed with a strip of Japanese paper. The numerous marginalia and other cross-outs in the "Asinus" (fol. 53 recto and verso) are possibly by the same (strictly contemporary) hand. The ownership entry on the title refers to the Franciscan monastery of Lucerne - perhaps the text was too permissive for the monks? The later entry on the title page reads: "Liber Prohibitus à Concillio Tridentino". On the flyleaf endpaper an ownership entry by Baron Per Hierta, Främmestad, dated 1906.

Fragment of an Egyptian sarcophagus panel made of possibly cedar wood painted with the goddess Isis, Late Period or Late Period (664-332 BC) Isis appears touched with the solar disk, has wings and carries the feather of truth Maat in her hand. The wings give a divine and protective character to the deity that has them and seem to be inspired by the kites that utter characteristic cries, similar to the cry of mourners, so the presence of winged Isis is justified in a sarcophagus as protection for the dead. Restorations in the joints of the boards. Framed Provenance: French auction house, French private collection, Roger Videau Collection, Paris sold at Drouot-Richelieu in April 1989 Measurements: 90 x 50 cm
