| Brief Description | Egyptian mummy cover in wood. This would have been placed directly over the mummy and both then placed in a wooden coffin. The cover has very clear, painted hieroglyphs (Osiris, Mistress of the House, Singing Woman of Amon, Mut-Im -?-Ha ) which are typical of those found at Karnak. It has been broken across the chest and repaired, and parts of the hands missing, probably pulled off for sale as tourist trinkets in the nineteenth century. Some areas varnished, possibly in nineteenth century. |
