This paper offers the publication of a mummy’s linen bandage, kept in the Cairo Egyptian Museum with the inventory numbers JE 7638 (SR 2169). No information is recorded on its provenance and discovery. It is a long pictorial frieze, consisting of a series of vignettes from the Book of the Dead, and a short recitation mentioning the owner as Psamtik, whose mother is Ta-heret. On the basis of the inscriptions, and the stylistic iconography of the figures, the mummy bandage can be dated to the 26th Dynasty and originates from Saqqara. An interpretation of the vignettes and their origins is also proposed here
