FAQ
Is this a piece taken from a human or animal mummy? Do we know which tomb this was taken from? If it’s from a human mummy, do we know the name or social status of the person that this wrapping was taken from?

These were recovered from a Third Intermediate Period human sarcophagus. I have a photo of the headpiece of the sarcophagus taken in the early 1970's. It was colorfully painted but with no hieroglyphs indicting names or titles, so the original occupant is unknown. But it was a middle-class type of coffin.
