Coffin of the Weaver Nakht

Nakht was a weaver in ancient Egypt, a profession which is believed quite lowly in ancient Egypt. However Nakht was buried in an expensive coffin while his body appears to have faced malnutrition during his life?

Nakht and his coffin can be found in Toronto's Royal Ontario museum. You can also read about Nakht and his coffin in the book "Conversations with mummies".
