A 3,000-year-old coffin and another worth about half-a-million ringgit will be on display at the National Museum.
They are among the 30-odd coffins that are part of an exhibition, themed Traditions and Mysteries.
…
The attractions include a “Niah boat†coffin that dates back to Neolithic times, a gold-plated modern Chinese coffin, a buffalo-shaped coffin from Indonesia and a 100-year-old kerusi mayat (coffin chair) from the Philipines that was used to dry the bodies of respected noblemen until only the bones remained.
