Two Amulet Necklaces and other knick-knacks.

Egyptian cloth.

Cartonnage Mask

After this mummy had been partially wrapped with linen, the mask was placed over the head and further wrapping continued to anchor it in place. The various symbols and igures painted on the mask were expected to provide protection for the deceased. The four "Genii" of the dead are shown: On the right side of the head are Tuamutef (as a jackal-headed mummy), and Amset, (human-headed). On the left side are Hapi, (ape-headed), and Kebhsnauf (hawk-headed).
