Mummy case

Mummy case or coffin of an unknown priest. Although the coffin appears to be empty, fluids from the mummy will have survived in the wood and scientific testing will be able to reveal more about the priest portrayed on the coffin lid. He wears a long wig, his eyes are outlined with eye-paint and his ears are pierced. He also wears an amulet necklace and a large collar of lotus flowers and repeated amulet symbols on his coffin provide protection.
