Description: | Mummy cover made of linen and plaster (cartonnage), which would have been placed over the body of a wrapped mummy and held in place with additional linen wrappings.
In the rectangular area at the top, the jackal-headed god Anubis stands at a lion-headed funerary bier with a mummy on top of it. Under the bier, there are four 'canopic' jars for the mummified organs, each representing one of the Four Sons of Horus.
