The Mummy of Nekhet-iset-aru. Her body was covered with fine pink linen cloth followed by narrow bandages. These have been partially torn, so they are not in their original position.

I’m beginning to like the sense of history you put to your posts recently. I think, that’s a cool idea!
Thanks Sony! History is such an interesting topic. There’s a saying, Life must be lived forward, but it can only be understood backward
Mummies will never cease to impress me… Thanks for the share :-)
What a shot. My friend has just visited Egypt, and she tells about the pharaoh and this picture make her story complete. But how you can you capture the mummy? from what’ve heard you can’t bring camera inside?
Thanks Hendra! This mummy exhibition is outside Egypt. FYI, I didn’t visit Egypt too. Your friend is lucky to visit. Photography is allowed at the moment.
Brilliant outlook on Through!
Thanks Jen!
