Catalogue Description: Small hawk mummy wrapped in a coarse weave linen. The linen bundle is then wound with threading; the body is wound in a systematic pattern across the body, while at the lower end, the thread is laced up and down the length of the body in a zigzag pattern. A thread is also wound around the base of the head repeatedly. Condition: The threading across the widest part of the body is missing, its indentations are still visible. There are a few holes at the widest part of the body. A portion of an old sticker still remains.
