Fragmentary preserved mummy-like bundle or figure wrapped in linen inside a shallow, wedge-shaped wooden case fragment.

The image shows a weathered, shallow half of a wooden container with peeling/flaking surfaces. Inside the case is a brownish bundle of wrapped material that appears to be linen wrappings pressed into the outline of a goose-like form only by implication from the catalogue title. The central portion has layered, folded wrappings forming a rounded head/neck and a body-like mass, with darker stains and missing areas. No clear painted surface, feathered details, or leg structure are distinguishable from this view. The exterior of the case is heavily chipped and stained, with many areas of exposed substrate or loss. There is no legible carved or painted hieroglyphic text visible on the container in this photograph, and no cartouche or royal name is identifiable.
