The KV63 website has been updated with some more news: "Coffin G (the Youth Coffin) was bought up successfully. The coffin appears very solid and in good condition (no termite damage). The coffin does possess a very exquisite painted face. Of particular interest is the resin-coated underside of the lid, this is indeed unusual, and possibly points to an effort to conceal decoration and/or text. Lid fragments, a side panel, and the mask from Coffin B were also removed from the chamber this week."
See the KV63 website for some details of the contents of Coffin B, and extracts from the Archaeology magazine article about KV63.
