Mummie van een krokodil met uitgebreid windselwerk in twee kleuren linnen. De trekken van de krokodil zijn op de kop geschilderd. De krokodil was het heilige dier van de god Sobek, wiens cultusplaatsen zich bevonden te Kom Ombo in Opper-Egypte en het gebied in de Fajoem waar Shedyt, later Krokodilopolis geheten, was gelegen. In de Grieks-Romeinse tempel van Kom Ombo kan men nog altijd krokodilmummies bezichtigen.
