專家說明

A detailed report by Carol Andrews and a report on the examination of the mummy by Joyce M. Filer accompanies the above lot.

The sarcophagus is similar to other examples found in 1891 in Deir el-Bahri, Cache II. These sarcophagi are now mainly in European and American museums, with eighteen of them in unknown locations.
