Embalmers' Dockets
New Kingdom

This piece of inscribed linen is part of a bandage used in the wrapping of the mummy of a middle-aged man. It was probably inscribed by the embalmer, as were four other pieces of linen used in the embalming (36.3.180–.183). The hand writing on all of the pieces is the same. The man, whose name was not recorded, was buried on the hillside below the tomb of Senenmut (36.3.252), TT 71 in the Sheikh Abd el-Qurna cemetery in Western Thebes.
