- Abstract:
- The paper presents for the first time to the public some wooden fragments of an ancient Egyptian ‘mummy cover’, kept in the ‘Egyptian Corner’ of the University of Pavia Archaeology Museum (Italy). The fragments, belonging to an original ancient Egyptian artefact which dates back to the end of the New Kingdom, are here published after a restoration performed by Chiara Argentino in 2018. The restoration was aimed at better understanding the artefacts themselves and their role within the Egyptological collection of the University of Pavia. Fungal contamination of the fragments was assessed before the restoration with the support of the laboratory of mycology of Pavia University (DSTA).
