| Sumario: | Yellow coffins stand out for their profuse pictorial decoration. With roots in the Amarna period and in the innovations introduced during the Ramesside period, the full definition of the decorative scheme of the yellow coffins was defined at the turn of the 21st Dynasty. The complexity and variability that characterize these objects required a profound transformation of the work organization in Theban funerary workshops. Based on the research that the Gate of the Priest Project has developed over the last decade in the so-called “Foreign Lots” of Bab el-Gassus, the present study seeks to systematize some of the transformations that can be detected in the coffins of the priests of Amun, especially at the level of carpentry and decoration practices. Ultimately, these changes can help us clarify the role yellow coffins played in the Theban society during the 21st Dynasty. |
