Rectangular outer coffin (box-like) shown in profile, with painted decoration including an eye panel on the upper portion.
The image shows a large wooden outer coffin with a flat top and stepped/banded construction on the right end. Along the upper face there is a recessed rectangular panel containing a stylized painted eye motif (two eyes with brows) against a light ground; surrounding areas are largely plain and dark, with visible surface cracking and small scattered holes or fastening points along the planks. No clearly legible hieroglyphic lines or cartouches are visible at this resolution; only decorative eye iconography is apparent. The overall look matches a Middle Kingdom painted coffin exterior, but specific textual identification for "Senebtisi" cannot be confirmed from the provided image.
