windsels ; onbekende; mummie Mummy of a child, covered with the shreds of a much decayed shroud of natural linen (medium-fine tabby weave, about 15 x 30 threads/cm2). The shroud was folded around the head and feet and displays a vertical edge along the right side of the back. It cannot be ascertained anymore how the shroud was fixed. Two rectangular pieces of fine linen have been stuck transversely over the back of the shoulders (11 x 30 cm) and the calves (7.5 x 16.5 cm), perhaps during a modern restoration. Through the holes of the shroud it can be seen that underneath the mummy is wrapped in bandages of medium-fine linen which have been applied in spiral fashion. They are rather narrow, with a protruding part of about 1.5-2.5 cm. These bandages are covered with a black resinous varnish. A large hole on the chest and throat shows other bandages of natural linen below, which follow a diagonal pattern over the shoulders. There is also a circular hole in the top of the skull (diam. c. 3 cm). The lower legs of the mummy are rather loose.
