A horizontal Egyptian-style mummy with painted, gilded and plastered cartonnage covering the body, decorated with standing human figures and inscription-like bands.

The image shows a mummified human body laid on its side on a support. The head and upper torso area are covered by decorated cartonnage panels: the left end includes a multicolored section with linear and figure decoration, while the long body covering is primarily beige/yellow with a wide horizontal gilded border line. Across the torso there are three small vertical standing figures in light color on darker ground, separated by bands resembling register divisions. The right end of the covering includes a blanker yellow field consistent with cartonnage that has aged or been abraded. No clearly legible hieroglyphs, Greek, or Coptic/Arabic text are visible in the provided view; the decorative motifs resemble iconography rather than readable captions. Condition appears worn with discoloration and surface cracking/abrasion; some paint and gilding are preserved along borders.
