AEABB58
Description
A relatively long bundle with a plain, modelled head. The body is constructed of different sections of linen used to make up the outer layers, including a folded ribbon piece of linen circumventing the bundle from the neck downwards. It is unknown if this was the intended out layer of the mummy bundle.
Radiographs show the mummy bundle is in two sections with the neck area lost. Skull has been crushed extensively and the body is disarticulated. The wrappings are thick and there is an empty area in the lower part of the bundle where there are no bones. Evidence for post-mortem fractures. Lower legs are bent upwards. CT shows the bundle is very tightly wrapped <2.4cm in places. Individual is immature with growth plates visible in long bones. A Felid canine tooth is visible in the wrappings but distinctly separate from the body material. Density of the empty are at the base is -706: ?air or ?sand.
Museum Acquisition Number: 1977.1162
