Description: | linen tunic of a much finer, more transparent weave than UC31182, and in a poorer condition. In one piece of material from waist to feet, lapped round and sewn down the edge. Two pieces sewn on which pass over the shoulders, and continue out into long sleeves - one side of bodice and one sleeve completely missing, the other sleeve detached from shoulder. Gap at front and back originally closed by tying with three pairs of string at front, and the same behind. Stains from mummified body, together withy extremely narrow width, and over-long length (would have been pleated horizontally in life) indicate exclusively a grave-good. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/ | Rights holder: | University College London | Subjects: | Egyptology | Temporal: | name=Dynasty 5; start=-2494; end=-2345 | Source: | UCL Museums | Identifier: | http://www.ucl.ac.uk/museums/objects/LDU... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
