- Lot Description
Ancient Egypt, Middle Kingdom Period, 12th Dynasty, ca. 1991 to 1806 BCE. A small fragment of tightly-woven linen used as wrappings for the mummy of Khnumu-Nekht (sometimes Khnumu-Nakht). Khnumu-Nekht was a priest of the ram-headed deity Khnum who was perceived as the local version of Osiris due to Osiris' association with rams. The tomb of Khnumu-Nekht and his brother Nekht-Ankh was found under the direction of famous archaeologist William Flinders Petrie in Der Rifeh, the cemetery plot within the ancient Egyptian town of Shas-hotep (sometimes Shas-hetep). Accompanying the linen fragment is an original news article dated May 07, 1908 which recounts the unwrapping and observation of the mummy. Mounted atop a fabric-lined panel inside a frame. Size (fragment): 4" W x 3" H (10.2 cm x 7.6 cm); size (frame): 22.125" W x 18.25" H (56.2 cm x 46.4 cm).
