I28-R145-16266_oai2025-11-17 Vilaró Fabregat, Jaume 2024-12-26 The richly decorated yellow coffins and their associated funerary materials are important sources of information about Theban society, including its politics and religious beliefs, from the end of the 20th Dynasty to the beginning of the 22nd Dynasty. This spans a period during which the practice of highly decorated private tombs containing minimally decorated coffins gave way to its opposite, that is, minimally decorated collective tombs containing highly decorated coffins. The corpus of yellow coffins was increased by 153 sets with the discovery of the intact tomb of Bab el-Gasus in Deir el-Bahari in 1891. However, the subsequent development of new understand-ings of these materials has been seriously hindered by insufficient documentation as well as the haphazard diffusion of the associated objects across the globe. This paper will analyse some of the problems associated with the study of the coffins originating from the tomb, highlighting the need to reconsider the circumstances and records associated with their modern rediscovery. Los textos y la iconografía asociados con los ataúdes amarillos y sus respectivos ajuares fune-rarios son una importante fuente de información sobre la sociedad tebana, la política y las creencias religiosas desde finales de la dinastía XX hasta inicios de la dinastía XXII. Durante este período, la élite dejó de ser enterrada en tumbas privadas ornamentadas para ser inhumada en tumbas colectivas sin decorar. Así pues, el repertorio iconográfico y textual que anteriormente aparecía en las paredes de las tumbas pasó a ser incorporado directamente sobre los ataúdes, incrementando su complejidad. El corpus de ataúdes amarillos aumentó en 153 sets gracias al descubrimiento, en 1891, de la tumba intacta de Bab el-Gasus en Deir el-Bahari. Sin embargo, el estudio de estos materiales presenta dificultades derivadas de la escasa documentación sobre el hallazgo, así como de la desmembración de los objetos alrededor del mundo. En el presente artículo se analizarán algunas de las problemáticas relacionadas con el estudio de los ataúdes procedentes de la tumba, evidenciando la importancia de la revisión de los informes sobre el descubrimiento y de los eventos modernos asociados con estos materiales. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/rihao/article/view/16266 10.34096/rihao.n25.16266 spa Instituto de Historia Antigua Oriental, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, UBA https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/rihao/article/view/16266/13889 Derechos de autor 2024 Jaume Vilaró Fabregat Revista del Instituto de Historia Antigua Oriental 'Dr. Abraham Rosenvasser'; Núm. 25 (2024) 2683-9660 0325-1209 yellow coffins Bab el-Gasus Twenty-First Dynasty fragmentation ataúdes amarillos Bab el-Gasus Dinastía XXI desmembración The yellow coffins from the tomb of Bab el-Gasus: problems associated with discovery documentation and material fragmentation Los ataúdes amarillos procedentes de la tumba de Bab el-Gasus: problemáticas derivadas de los informes del hallazgo y de la desmembración del material info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=rihao&d=16266_oai |

| description |
The richly decorated yellow coffins and their associated funerary materials are important sources of information about Theban society, including its politics and religious beliefs, from the end of the 20th Dynasty to the beginning of the 22nd Dynasty. This spans a period during which the practice of highly decorated private tombs containing minimally decorated coffins gave way to its opposite, that is, minimally decorated collective tombs containing highly decorated coffins. The corpus of yellow coffins was increased by 153 sets with the discovery of the intact tomb of Bab el-Gasus in Deir el-Bahari in 1891. However, the subsequent development of new understand-ings of these materials has been seriously hindered by insufficient documentation as well as the haphazard diffusion of the associated objects across the globe. This paper will analyse some of the problems associated with the study of the coffins originating from the tomb, highlighting the need to reconsider the circumstances and records associated with their modern rediscovery. |
