This article deals with the study, analysis and description of the original decoration preserved on the exterior surface of the coffin pedestal. Some parts of the surface on the pedestal were restored in the 1970s, and they can be clearly distinguished from the rest of the original decoration. The study of the preserved original paintings together with comparative material enables us to describe and analyse the patterns used in the original decoration. Moreover, we can identify its missing and/or damaged parts and describe the whole scene depicted on the surface of the coffin pedestal.

This article deals with the interpretation of an ideographically written epithet of Anubis and its possible phonetic transliteration and reading. The list of epithets of Anubis occurs in the inner inscriptions of the ancient Egyptian coffin of Merneby in Bratislava. They were written on the bottom of the coffin lid as well as the coffin trough. In regard to the specific role of Anubis in ancient Egyptian religion it is argued that the epithet in question, partly written in an abbreviated ideographical form, may identify Anubis as a lord (nb) of the divine sancturary or shrine (STyt or kAr), purification tent (ibw), burial (qrst), coffin (qrsw) or chest (hn).

The exterior surface of the coffin was originally decorated with polychrome painted scenes and inscriptions. While the back side of the mummiform part of the coffin consisted explicitly of the inscriptions, its frontal side contained a rich combination of paintings divided into registers and sections filled with inscriptions written in vertical and horizontal bands. The exterior surface of the lid of the coffin is very badly damaged. Some physical parts of the surface on the coffin are completely missing. This is why the damaged parts were restored in modern times. This paper deals with the basic layout and distribution of the registers filled with scenes and texts on the preserved exterior surface of the front and back sides of the coffin. The investigation is based on an analysis of the preserved parts of the original decoration identified on the exterior surface of the coffin. A more detailed description and analysis of the particular registers filled with the paintings and inscriptions as well as the reconstruction of the original decorative programme of the coffin will be discussed and presented in following papers.
