Description: | Mummy of a bird (Falco tinnunculus - Kestrel) wrapped in linen bandages in an anthropomorphic shape. The face and chest are painted in red and black to identify the mummy as belonging to the cult of Horus. The face is slightly damaged with the beak area missing. The radiographs show post mummification damage in four transverse fractures throughout the mummy, including a broken tibiotarsus and the loss of the beak and the right eye (Owen, 2001: 184).
