A narrow, mummiform bundle with painted decoration, showing a standing human-headed deity-like figure in black on a tan ground with additional vertical motifs.

The object appears as a tall, tapered, mummy-like wrapping or tube. The surface is tan/brown with areas of wear and fading. A prominent black-painted figure occupies most of the visible face: a human-like figure standing in profile or three-quarter view with an oval or halo-like element above the head and a staff/standing object held or positioned near the body. Several schematic lines and patterned bands extend around and across the figure, suggesting stylized garb or symbolic devices. The top includes a circular/ovoid form that could relate to a head attribute, and there are diagonal hatch-like strokes within a rectangular-like border at the midsection. No clear animal (ibis) form is distinctly identifiable from this single view, but the overall presentation (mummiform body with painted iconography) is consistent with a sacred-animal mummy casing decorated with a deity figure, as in the catalogue description. No readable hieroglyphic text is clearly legible; the motifs are primarily figural and abstract rather than clearly inscribed letters. No cartouches or royal titulary are visible.
