Ptolemaic Period

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 133

This is the mummified body of a woman named Tasheriteniset, which still includes the original linen wrappings. Her mummy mask depicts earrings and a headband with a golden wedjat eye amulet. A long, vegetal collar was placed on her chest and she has a painted foot covering made out of linen mixed with plaster (called cartonnage).
