Ancient Egyptian bead mummy net from Illahun Faiyum dated 664 – 332 BC

Faience mummy net. Diamond shaped net pattern with blue faience cylinder beads and white faience beads wih a grooves around the circumference decorating the edges.

Associated with 1892.7.2b since at least 1900, when seen draped over face of cartonnage in photograph of museum displays.
However bead nets are later than the Third Intermediate Period and the association with the cartonnage is unlikely to be original, possibly added to cartonnage to hide extensive damage to face and head.
