IDENTIFIERS ----------- id: 59526 accession number: E.GA.5851.1943 DATE AUDIT ---------- created: Saturday 6 August 2011 updated: Monday 4 September 2023 DESCRIPTIVE DATA ---------------- object type: Lotus flower from a coffin made from a roughly cut piece of sycomore fig. The flower was originally attached to the elbow of an anthropoid coffin. The lotus, more correctly identified as a water lily, symbolised rebirth due to the way that these plants emerge from water, just as the Egyptians believed the first plants emerged from the primeval waters at the time the world was created. title: coffin fragment LICENSING --------- text license status: CC0 image license status: CC-BY-NC-SA OWNERSHIP --------- instutition: The Fitzwilliam Museum
