This beautiful coffin is entirely covered with gold leaf. The necklace, the vulture and two columns of text are on the lid are of coloured inlay, while rest of the decoration is in the usual low relief on the gold. The inside of both lid and coffin is silvered. 
The eyes are made as in the last lid, of black glass and marble set in blue glass, in the corners of the eyes is a little touch of red paint. The necklace is composed of pieces of coloured glass and stone inlaid in the plaster. The vultures head is of light blue glass with eye of black and the beak dark blue, these pieces are carefully cut. The feathers are blue with red tips. Below the vulture is the standing figure of Nut, with arms raised. Before and behind her are two vertical bands of inscription in inlaid glass.
