介绍（中）	这口棺材的主人Ameny在盖子上的铭文中被简单地指定为"精英之子"。根据他的木乃伊的证据——现在存放在剑桥皮博迪博物馆——他去世时已经是一个老人了。盖子上的铭文还恳求"塞帕之主"阿努比斯神允许死者"穿越天空，下葬，登上伟大的上帝，天堂之主"。棺材盒上的彩绘装饰及其一系列门道，周围环绕着错综复杂的壁龛和其他建筑元素，让人联想到埃及的"假门，"这是一个象征性的通道，死者可以通过它从坟墓里的安息之地或这里的棺材里出来接受祭品。其中一个门口上方的眼睛与最初躺在棺材里的木乃伊的眼睛相对应。眼睛由人眼和猎鹰眼睛周围的羽毛组成（wedjat eye）因此，这里的wedjat元素将保护力量与一个开口的想法结合在一起，死者可以通过这个开口与外界交流，看到太阳从东方升起。
介绍（英）	The owner of this coffin Ameny is simply designated as the "son of a member of the elite" in the inscription on the lid. On the evidence of his mummy - now in the Peabody Museum, Cambridge - he was already an old man when he died. The inscription on the lid also begs the god Anubis, "Lord of Sepa," to allow the deceased to "cross the sky, be interred, and ascend to the Great God, Lord of Heaven." The painted decoration on the coffin box with its series of doorways surrounded by intricately enhanced niches and other architectural elements evokes associations with the Egyptian idea of the "false door," a symbolic passage through which the deceased could exit spiritually from his resting place in the tomb - or here the coffin - to receive offerings. The eyes above one of the doorways corresponded with the eyes of the mummy that originally lay on its side within the coffin. The eyes are composed of elements of human eyes and the feathering around the eyes of falcons (wedjat eye). The wedjat element here thus combined protective forces with the idea of an opening through which the deceased could communicate with the outside world and see the sun rising in the east.
