Corner of a Bandage Inscribed with the Cartouche of Neferure ca. 1492-1473 B.C. New Kingdom This fragment of linen is from a sheet that was used to wrap the mummy of Ramose, the father of Senenmut (36.3.252). The fringes had been torn off, but an ink inscription with a cartouche enclosing the name of Neferure, Hatshepsut's daughter, was preserved in one corner indicating that the sheet had at one time been used in the household of the princess. The sheet was of coarse, loosely woven fabric about 16 feet long (193 cm) and 53 inches wide (133 cm) and it showed much previous wear. Linen was a valuable commodity in ancient Egypt, and when it had served its function for the living, it was repurposed for use in mummification. A bandage on Ramose's mummy was also marked with the name of Neferure (36.3.149).. Corner of a Bandage Inscribed with the Cartouche of Neferure 549061
