Description: | Mummy of a child which is wrapped in diagonally arranged linen, with gilded plaster studs placed in the diamond spaces. The mummy still has a linen and plaster (cartonnage) footcase in place; painted.
The 'portrait' panel which originally covered the face was supposedly kept at the Boulaq Museum, Cairo (i.e., the Egyptian Museum), but this information may not be reliable.
Received from an unidentified school in 1933; original record card may provide further information.
The mummy was CT-scanned at Manchester Children's Hospital on 11/7/13.
