Painted wooden coffin of Katebet dating to the 18th Dynasty from Thebes, this part of the lid shows her with an elaborate wig and a filler of lotus petals. It was originally for a man but was adapted for her by over-painting the carved outline of the wig - although some of the masculine pronouns were left unchanged (EA 6665).
