Object Details

Donor Name
The Metropolitan Museum of Art
A Late Period bronze coffin for a mummified snake, i.e., a votive offering and not a tally stone.
Since object is a bronze snake coffin, rather than a quartzite tally stone, the provenance of Thebes may also be in question. See possibly related object A422998?
