HUMAN MUMMY

HUMAN MUMMY
The mummy is completely enveloped in cloth on which a pattern of pearls has been sewn in the form of lozanges. Over the head a relatively flat mask has been placed on which a face, a wig and a part of a necklace have been painted. The chest is covered by a large pectoral with clasps in the form of a falcon's head. The lower part of the body is adorned by the image of a winged <A HREF="God">goddess</A> which represents Nephthys. The motif of the fourth scene is composed of a djed-pillar which is adored by Isis and Nephthys and the four Sons of Horus. The feet are concealed in a sheath on which the god Anubis, perched on his shrine, has been drawn. The bottom presents two simple soles.

Statue of a Man and Latus The Sacred Fish.

Statue of a Man and Latus The Sacred Fish.
This statue shows a man sitting in a high-backed chair with his left leg forward in a position similar to those of seated gods in low-reliefs. He is wearing the Nemes headdress and the Shendyt kilt, and holds a long snake in both hands.
On a high base to the right, the fins and the tail remain of what was once Latus, the sacred fish. A column of hieroglyphics is inscribed between these two figures the man and the fish.
