Corner of a Sheet Inscribed with the Cartouche of Neferure
This fragment of linen is inscribed in ink with the cartouche of Hatshepsut's daughter, Neferure. It came from a bandage used in wrapping of the mummy of Ramose, the father of Senenmut (36.3.252) and husband of Hatnefer (36.3.1). The bandage had been torn from a coarse linen sheet and was 7 1/2 inches wide (19 cm) and almost 15 feet long (455 cm). The original sheet probably came from a storeroom of goods set aside for the use of the princess. An entire sheet used in Ramose's mummy wrappings was also inscribed with Neferure's name (36.3.148).
