Description: | Mummy of a cat (Felix silvestris libyca) wrapped in linen bandages and coated in a black substance, possibly resin. The resin is cracked and has come away completely in some places. The radiographs reveal that the cat was immature at the time of mummification and suffered a fracture in the mid section of the vertebrae (Owen, 2001: 186). The linen bandages are wrapped tightly around the animal remains and the lower limbs are folded up with the tail folded up between them (Owen, 2001: 89).
