Description: | Mummy of a bird (Falco tinnunculus - Kestrel) wrapped in linen. It has suffered some post mummification damage - the beak is protruding from the wrappings and is damaged at the tip. Also the wrappings on the top of the skull have come away revealing part of the eye sockets and forehead. The feather shafts are protruding from the wrappings at the base. The radiographs show a complete skeleton (Owen, 2001: 179).
