The Alabaster Sarcophagus of Oimenepthah I., King of Egypt

The huge alabaster coffin found in the tomb of Oimenepthah I (Seti I) was regarded as one of the most important artefacts found in Egypt prior to the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb. This illustrated description of the sarcophagus was published in 1864, written by the Egyptologist Samuel Sharpe (1799-1881).
