Abstract
The publication of two coffins presently in the City Museum and Art Gallery in Plymouth, England.

They also have an intriguing modern history, and an attempt is made to trace them from their first appearance at the Bristol Institution (ancestor of the modern City Museum & Art Gallery) in 1834, through the Bristolian private collection of mid-nineteenth century collector and traveller Thomas Pease (1816–1884), to their arrival in Plymouth in 1919.
