cloth

 

This cloth, which was part of the É. de Meester de Ravestein collection, bears the mark of the temple of Mentuhotep II. A detailed examination has shown that the fringed selvage, a characteristic which one finds on several cloths of the same category (compare E.6855), was not only decorative but also essentially technological.

Shroud of Osiris

 

Shroud of Osiris

This fragment in linen cloth, which dates from the Roman Period, is the upper part of a large shroud representing the god Osiris mummiform. The oval face has two black eyes elongated by a cosmetic line and a large nose. On the cheeks two bandages descend which serve to fix the false beard. The body is wrapped in an envelope of netting in dark red and decorated black and blue. The god, who is dressed in the atef-crown, wears a wesekh-collar and a pectoral in the form of a naos. The face of Osiris is framed by two kneeling mourners; they are probably a representation of Isis and Nephthys. The shroud is also decorated with djed-pillars and small papyrus columns. This type of shroud, of which the iconography is certainly of pharaonic tradition, is rather rare.
