Embalmers' Dockets
New Kingdom
Not on view
This section of linen fabric is from a sheet used as the outermost wrapping of the mummy of a middle-aged man who was buried on the hillside below the tomb of Senenmut (36.3.252) in the Sheikh Abd el-Qurna cemetery in Western Thebes. A number of the sheets and bandages seem to have been inscribed by the embalmers during the wrapping process (see 36.3.179–.182). In all cases, the hieratic hand writing is the same.
