Mummy of an adult male, circa 55 years of age, wrapped in a shroud of very fine linen on top of which are five pieces of gilded cartonnage, completely covering the body and face. It belonged to a priest of Imhotep by the name of Nespamedu. Remnants of bitumen, used for mummification, are clearly visible. Radiography has revealed an object in the mouth and arms crossed over the breast, in accordance with the technique used during the Ptolemaic Period.
