muñecas de trapo
Algunos estudiosos piensan que eran juguetes hechos para que jugaran los niños, en el periodo romano. Petrie, en el año 1888 y durante sus excavaciones , encontró una muñeca con algunas ropas en Hawara. Localizó la muñeca en la tumba de un niño, junto con otras miniaturas. La tumba está datada en la cuarta centuria.
La muñeca encontrada por Petrie esta hecha de lino y está rellenada con juncos. Los ojos y cejas de la cara están pintados en negro. Tiene además el pelo peinado y con trenzas. El brazo derecho de la muñeca esta suelto, pero el brazo izquierdo está unido al hombro. Las piernas han sido cortadas por las ingles.
En algunas partes del cuerpo de la muñeca se observan puntadas de lana roja para marcar partes del cuerpo, como los pezones e ingles. El lino es cosido por la parte de atrás de la figura.
La muñeca llevaba una túnica cuando Petrie la encontró, pero desgraciadamente esta prenda se ha perdido. Un montoncito de trozos de y lino lana estaban con la muñeca, pero todos se conservan como fragmentos. Se conservan un fragmento de lino y varios de lana (UC28030). El de lino está decorado con puntadas de lana roja .
Los fragmentos de lana son: 2 en rojo (uno de ellos con borlas amarillas), 1 verde claro, 1 verde oscuro y uno púrpura y azul.
Las puntadas en los fragmentos son bastante toscas y posiblemente fueron hechas por el niño para fabricarle vestidos para la muñeca.

fragment of mummy cartonnage
This fragment of mummy cartonnage, which dates from the New Kingdom, depicts a <A HREF="God">goddess</A> adorned with a sun disk. Her arms, which have wings, are raised in the gesture of protection. The identity of the <A HREF="God">goddess</A> is unknown; her name, which should have appeared between the two lines in front of her face, was never filled in. The piece was once in the Lambruschini collection.

This fragment is part of a portrait of a woman painted in tempera on a linen shroud. All that survives is a view of her hands: she wears a lot of jewelry, including a ring on every finger of her left hand. The snake-ring on her right hand finds parallels in actual gold rings, which are usually dated to the first century A.D., but this shroud is probably later.

Date: ca. 1336–1327 B.C.

Medium: Linen
Dimensions: L. 165 cm (64 15/16 in.); W. 6 cm (2 3/8 in.)
Credit Line: Gift of Theodore M. Davis, 1909
Accession Number: 09.184.797
Description
In December 1907 Theodore M. Davis, a wealthy American who was funding excavations in the Valley of the Kings, discovered a small pit near the tomb of Seti I. Inside the pit were approximately a dozen large sealed whitewashed storage jars (09.184.1). Among other things, the jars contained bags of natron (a kind of salt), pieces of linen with hieratic inscriptions dated to Years 6 and 8 of a king named Tutankhamun (throne name Nebkheperure). At the time, almost nothing was know about Tutankhamun, and Davis declared that he had discovered the king's tomb.
Davis received a number of the jars and their contents in the division of finds and, in 1909, he gave most of his share to the Metropolitan Museum. It was only later that Herbert Winlock, the field director of the Museum's excavations at Thebes, realized that the natron and linen were embalming refuse from the mummification of Tutankhamun.
In ancient Egypt, linen was a valuable commodity used for clothing, bedding, blankets, cushions and other purposes. when it became too worn to be used by the living, it was put asside and used for mummification. In general, the bandages used to wrap a mummy were torn from old old linen sheets, but a number of the bandages from Tutankhamun's embalming cache, including this one that has a selvedge edge on both sides, were specially woven for this purpose.

Geography: From Egypt, Upper Egypt, Thebes, Deir el-Bahri, Tomb MMA 507 (The Slain Soldiers), MMA excavations, 1926–27
Medium: Linen
Dimensions: Folded: 25.5 x 17.5 cm (10 1/16 x 6 7/8 in.)
Credit Line: Rogers Fund, 1927
Accession Number: 27.3.118
This folded piece of linen was found in a mass grave of at least fifty-nine soldiers. The bodies showed evidence of violence, and from their wounds it was apparent that they died on the battlefield. Buried with the individuals were small pieces of military equipment such as bows and arrows. The excavator believed that these "slain soldiers" were connected with a specific historic event that lead to the reunification of Egypt under Mentuhotep II, but a reevaluation of the evidence does not support this theory. On the corners of the linen sheets were inscriptions, some with the names that were popular only later, in early Dynasty 12. The paleography of the inscriptions and the type of wrist guard found with the soldiers also point to a date early in the 12th dynasty, which can perhaps be narrowed down to the reign of Senwosret I (the second king of Dynasty 12). The hieratic inscription on this piece reads "Sobekhotep, son of Imeny, son of Sobekhotep" and is written in red ink.

The earliest Egyptian funerary texts list linen cloth among the principal offerings for the deceased, and price lists indicate that the finest quality fabric was highly prized. The tomb of Hatnofer and Ramose contained a variety of linen sheets that came from the storehouses of Queen Hatshepsut, a funerary gift for the parents of Senenmut, one of her favorite courtiers.
This sheet was woven of superfine thread that must have been spun from flax harvested when the plants were very young. The length of cloth would have taken months of constant industry to weave. The upper left corner has a series of inlaid weaver's marks, and the right corner, a single cross. One end of the sheet has a warp selvage; the other is finished with a plied fringe; and one weft selvage is decorated with an inlaid fringe. This cloth must be that described by the Egyptians as "royal linen," the highest quality. The sheerness of the featherweight fabric and its silken softness lend credence to New Kingdom representations of elaborately pleated garments that allow the contours of the body and even the color of the skin to show through. The cloth was repaired and laundered in ancient times.

Mummy of the 'embroiderer'
Mummy of the 'embroiderer'
The mummy of the 'embroiderer' was discovered during the excavations of Albert Gayet at Antinoe in 1899-1900. Its modern nickname derives from the amount of embroidery in the burial equipment of the tomb. The remains of the woman have not been mummified; the body was totally dried out in the hot sand. She wears three dresses one over the other, which are decorated with heart-shaped designs. On top of her head are a cap and a roll of polychrome wool representing flowers. Over her shoulders is a shawl decorated with floral and bird motifs. Her head and feet rest on embroidered cushions.

MUMMY COVER
MUMMY COVER
Sheath of the feet of a mummy
FAIYUM
From the Ptolemaic Period onwards, mummies were wrapped in several cloths made from linen and covered in stucco paint. The feet sheath was made from a single piece. It imitated sandals, composed simply of a sole, a heel and a strap, to which a knot was attached. The feet, the toes and the ankles were indicated by some simple traits. This beautiful example from Brussels is also distinguished by a vertical line of small blue and red rectangles, which separates the feet. A similar geometric decoration served to mark the thickness of the sole. On the bottom, two distinct soles are drawn, decorated by a linear motif.

muñecas de trapo
Algunos estudiosos piensan que eran juguetes hechos para que jugaran los niños, en el periodo romano. Petrie, en el año 1888 y durante sus excavaciones , encontró una muñeca con algunas ropas en Hawara. Localizó la muñeca en la tumba de un niño, junto con otras miniaturas. La tumba está datada en la cuarta centuria.
La muñeca encontrada por Petrie esta hecha de lino y está rellenada con juncos. Los ojos y cejas de la cara están pintados en negro. Tiene además el pelo peinado y con trenzas. El brazo derecho de la muñeca esta suelto, pero el brazo izquierdo está unido al hombro. Las piernas han sido cortadas por las ingles.
En algunas partes del cuerpo de la muñeca se observan puntadas de lana roja para marcar partes del cuerpo, como los pezones e ingles. El lino es cosido por la parte de atrás de la figura.
La muñeca llevaba una túnica cuando Petrie la encontró, pero desgraciadamente esta prenda se ha perdido. Un montoncito de trozos de y lino lana estaban con la muñeca, pero todos se conservan como fragmentos. Se conservan un fragmento de lino y varios de lana (UC28030). El de lino está decorado con puntadas de lana roja .
Los fragmentos de lana son: 2 en rojo (uno de ellos con borlas amarillas), 1 verde claro, 1 verde oscuro y uno púrpura y azul.
Las puntadas en los fragmentos son bastante toscas y posiblemente fueron hechas por el niño para fabricarle vestidos para la muñeca.
fragmento.de tela
Algunos vestidos podían llevar materiales no textiles, como barro y paja.
Este fragmento tiene cuentas ensartadas y presenta la peculiaridad de que no se habían encontrado antes tejidos de estas características utilizados en la vida cotidiana. El trenzado del borde es también peculiar.

This folded piece of linen was found in a mass grave of at least fifty-nine soldiers. The bodies showed evidence of violence, and from their wounds it was apparent that they died on the battlefield. Buried with the individuals were small pieces of military equipment such as bows and arrows. The excavator believed that these "slain soldiers" were connected with a specific historic event that lead to the reunification of Egypt under Mentuhotep II, but a reevaluation of the evidence does not support this theory. On the corners of the linen sheets were inscriptions, some with the names that were popular only later, in early Dynasty 12. The paleography of the inscriptions and the type of wrist guard found with the soldiers also point to a date early in the 12th dynasty, which can perhaps be narrowed down to the reign of Senwosret I (the second king of Dynasty 12). The hieratic inscription on this piece reads "Sobekhotep, son of Imeny, son of Sobekhotep" and is written in red ink.
