A tapering leather mummy band consists of a yellow-tan strip framed by reddish-brown borders. The worn, stained surface displays cracks and ragged edges. Funerary motifs are stamped centrally: two hieroglyphic cartouches sit above a scene of two figures. On our left, a figure wearing a tall, pointed crown holds a staff. To the right, another figure raises both hands in adoration. The imagery is deeply impressed into the weathered material.
