An ibis mummy wrapped to show the animal lying on its back with the beak resting on its ventral side and the legs drawn up to the body as if it were seated. The overlapping bandages form a herringbone pattern from the tail up, with the tip covered by an undyed bandage. The head and beak would have been covered with a cloth, now almost gone. the bandages below can thus be seen, stained with embalming materials that are kept in place with thread. An outer bandage covered the base, but is now tattered, revealing the same situation of bandages and thread as is seen in the beak area. CT scans show a complete skeleton of a juvenile ibis, positioned on its back, with the head folded over the sternum, wings folded against the sides of the body, neck curved in a pronounced S and the legs flexed and pushed toward the body.
