214 objects from the outer network op mummies.
1592. Body of a scarabaeus, \eper, taken from the outer network of a
mummy. These networks, made of bugle beads and figures of porcelain, generally
of a blue, but sometimes of different colours, had often a scarabasus represented
flying with outstretched wings on the chest. The wings were generally made of
the same material of blue colour, and attached by cords to the body of
the flying scarabaBi, which was called dp. These scarabsei are only found on
the mummies of a later period, earlier ones not having been decorated with
this network, which probably symbolised the net in which the body of Osiris
or his scattered limbs had been fished up from the bed of the Nile, into
which it had been thrown; the present specimen is much decomposed. 1| in.
