DescriptionNecklace made of tubular turquoise beads with a pendant in the shape of a mummy (standing anthropoid figurine with it's a long hair and the arms crossed on the chest). This figurine is broken in two under the waist, and must have been repaired by some resin, and a small piece of cloth is stuck to the edge of the upper part of the statuette. The small piece of cloth attached was part of the wrapping from the mummy upon which this necklace was found. It is linen.
