From the Museo Egizio record

This remarkable covering for a female mummy made of gilt cartonnage with inlaid crystal eyes was donated to the Museum by the collector Garré. The woman wears a Roman-style hairdo half covered by a veil, a fringed cloak (himation) tied at the breast, snake-shaped bracelets and a necklace of pink flowers, all elements connected to the cult of Isis. Dimensions: 39 cm x 67.3 cm x 16.8 cm. Museum location: Museum / Floor 1 / Room 13 / Showcase 05. Image views available: 12.
