Unfortunately, the lid to this coffin is lost to us, but
the surfaces of the lower part are covered with an
iconographic repertory similar to that which in previous
ages decorated the walls of the tombs. Djedhoriufankh
was a priest, and the decorative theme of his coffin are
divided amongst registers.
