Abstract

The sarcophagus of Amenirdis is one of the better-known objects in the Ethnographic Museum of Buenos Aires’s Egyptian collection. The name of its owner is that of nb.t pr Amenirdis. Although it is not exceptional in so far as its decoration or manufacture is concerned, it does present some interesting questions related to its social and material context; as well as the appropriation of certain textual and iconographic motifs associated to royal transfiguration. In addition, we analyze the sarcophagus as the material expression of the socioeconomic mobility inherent to certain social strata.
