74 THE MUMMY AND COFFIN OF NES-AMSU.

The mummy of Nes-Amsu is 5ft. 5 in. long, and
is in a well preserved condition. The head was
originally covered with a gilded cartonnage face, and
a small, clean-cut, haematite scarab was fastened to
the breast; the handsome cartonnage face was pre-
sented to the British Museum* in 1885, but where
the scarab is I know not. The front of the mummy
is ornamented with a painted and gilded cartonnage
collar and hollow-work pectoral, down the centre of
which runs a line of hieroglyphics which record the
name, titles and genealogy of the deceased. From
Akhmim.

Length 6 ft., width 1 ft. 8i in.
