Cat mummy of skittle type with naturalistically modelled head and a plain body. The head is made of rags and pieces of cloth covered by a single piece of cloth. The ears are carefully modelled and are brown at the edges, possibly because of a resinous material used to define and strengthen them. The large appliquéd button eyes of undyed linen are surrounded by brown thread, with small brown dots for the pupils. The nose is long, and the mouth is very detailed. The neck is reinforced by alternating bandages, kept in place with smears of a resinous substance. The body of the cat is covered with a plain pinkish shroud which is fixed through large, folded bandages along the sides. These are kept in place through a resinous substance on the sides and along the spine where they overlap. The bottom is reinforced with linen. Beneath the front shroud are at least five layers of neat spiral bound bandages. Several layers of linen bandages and rags were used to flesh out the cat. CT scans show a complete skeleton of an adult cat (possibly Felis silvestris lybica). The animal was positioned in the usual fashion, with the legs flexed towards the body and the tail against the belly. Remnants of the brain and spinal cord are visible, together with the trachea and remnants of lung tissue.
