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 bird was first wrapped in spiral bandages, originally completely hidden by elaborate outer wrappings in a herringbone pattern with insets. The head and beak are covered with a bandage that is darker brown than the others, perhaps to simulate the black head of the bird. The base is tidy, with a few longitudinal bandages over the less tidy area, resulting in a very neat effect. CT scans show a complete skeleton of an ibis that is relatively young. The animal is positioned on its back, with the head folded over the sternum, wings folded against the sides of the body, neck curved to S and limbs flexed and pushed toward the body. Large amounts of textile were placed behind the neck to protect and pad it.
