On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 122

This mud sealing is attached to the papyrus fiber tie that probably secured the lid on a box or jar. The impression is similar to that on 09.184.262. The sealings were found in a large jar in the embalming cache of Tuthankhamun in the Valley of the Kings.
