<p>This article investigates KS1970, housed in the Museo Civico Archeologico di Bologna, and EG4572-N1460, housed in the Oriental Museum, Durham University, two unusual Egyptian painted wooden boxes with gable-shaped lids. The boxes lack firm provenance but are both inscribed to Perpaut. They drew attention in the 1990s when Piacentini and Kozloff independently dated them to the second half of the New Kingdom. Kozloff placed them in the reign of Amenhotep III and suggested that the Bologna box might be earlier than the one in Durham. Because of Western Asian elements in the imagery, Kozloff believed that the owner, Perpaut, was probably a foreigner. Piacentini and Kozloff based their conclusions on epigraphy, iconography, and artistic style.</p><p>　The present article investigates the boxes from a different perspective, that of the woodworker. We use the measurement survey, an accurate recording of the structural system of the boxes, including details of seam lines, pegs, and lock systems in order to detect traces of trial and error in the work. In this way we can relive the production process as the artisan designed and corrected his work. We also produce the first accurate set of measurements of the boxes. Previous drawings have led to misunderstandings of the boxes' design. Our new technical drawings produce information not previously noted.</p><p>　We conclude that Kozloff correctly saw KS1970 as being earlier than EG4572-N1460. We also corroborate her suggestion of foreign influence. She saw it in the painted motifs: we find it in the technical details. No prototype of the gable-lidded box has been found in Egypt, although the shape recalls Old Kingdom burial chambers. Finally, we think that studies of Egyptian woodworking are still insufficient to be used for dating criteria. We need more studies of the sequence of production processes. Detailed measurement surveys, such as the ones used in this article, are required.</p>
