Pen and ink drawing on paper. This large sheet of paper contains five lines of hieroglyphic inscriptions copied from a mummy case found in Thebes in 1835. Below the hieroglyphics is an English translation. They are dedicatory inscriptions to Osiris and other gods by a person whose name in the original has been defaced, apparently a priestess for whom the mummy case was originally made.
