介绍（中）	Khnumnakht的棺材的精美油漆外观，除了他的名字之外，他不为人知，展示了中王国晚期棺材装饰特征的多种文字和装饰板。它至少有一个特征——头端的女神形象——这在中王国晚期之前是罕见的。人物和象形文字由熟练的艺术家自信地绘制，每个象形文字都按照棺材制作时间和地点的规定方式精心绘制。在棺材箱的左侧有一个建筑立面，底部中央有一个小门口。这相当于旧王国的假门，它允许死者的灵魂在死者之地和活人之地之间移动。在这种情况下，它被涂成类似于两个用两个门闩固定的木门扇。门上方是两只眼睛，望向活人的土地。木乃伊的脸会直接在这个面板后面。外部的其余部分刻有对各种原始神的祈求和背诵，特别是那些与死亡和重生相关的神灵，例如最重要的死者之神奥西里斯和防腐之神阿努比斯。
介绍（英）	The brilliantly painted exterior of the coffin of Khnumnakht, an individual unknown except for his name, displays the multiplicity of texts and decorative panels characteristic of coffin decoration in the late Middle Kingdom. It has at least one feature—the figure of the goddess on the head end—that is rare before the late Middle Kingdom. The figures and hieroglyphs have been drawn by the confident hand of a skilled artist and each hieroglyph has been carefully painted in the prescribed manner of the time and place in which the coffin was made. On the left side of the coffin box there is an architectural facade with a small doorway in the center at the bottom. This is the equivalent of the Old Kingdom false door, which allowed the spirit of the deceased to move between the land of the dead and the land of the living. In this case, it is painted to resemble two wooden door leaves secured with two door bolts. Above the door are two eyes that look forth into the land of the living. The face of the mummy would have been directly behind this panel. The rest of the exterior is inscribed with invocations to, and recitations by, various primeval deities, particularly those associated with death and rebirth, such as Osiris, foremost god of the dead, and Anubis, god of embalming.
