Wolfram Grajetzki, The Sarcophagus of Hunefer and other New Kingdom Private Sarcophagi,
(Kitab – Egyptology in Focus 3), London 2021
The third volume of the series Kitab – Egyptology in Focus. Material culture of ancient Egypt and Nubia is the full publication of the granite sarcophagus of the mayor of Thebes, Hunefer, in office under Ramses II, placing it in its historical and geographical context. To date, the sarcophagus, which is in the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, has received little research attention despite being an important monument. The book also includes a catalogue of about 100 other New Kingdom stone sarcophagi.
