TOMB EQUIPMENT: MUMMY TRAPPINGS
This mummy decoration, which dates to the Late Period, consists of a network of tubular beads arranged in squares. A scarab with outstretched wings and the Four Sons of Horus are attached to the middle. The net was placed over the mummy bandages and had the same function as the amulets which protected the deceased during his journey in the underworld.
