Padihershef at the MFA

Did you know that Padihershef's outer coffin was once stored at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston?

Thank you Mimi Leveque, Peabody Essex Museum conservator, for sending this great photo of Padihershef's outer coffins at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston. This photo was taken at the MFA in 1909 when the museum was still at Copley Square.

Can you point out Padi's outer coffins in the picture? (Answer below)

Below is a another picture of the MFA in the late 19th century.

We believe the outer coffin photo was taken near the windows at the far right bottom corner of the picture. Talk about great provenance for Padihershef.












































 Answer: The outer coffins are on the outside (like bookends) of the other mummies' coffins.
