Slipper
Coffin
faceplates.
Egyptian
outposts
included
the
site
of
Beth
Shean
near
the
dead-sea.
Many
of
these
skipper
coffins
have
been
found
in
the
area.
They
are
called
slipper
coffins
because
they
are
composed
of
an
enormous
pot.
The
body
was
placed
inside,
and
the
faceplate
covered
the
opening. |
