Louvre Museum in Paris.



The most striking feature of this mummy and what distinguishes it from others is the texture of the linen strips that form the design of the concentric squares that cover the nape, yet the body is well preserved under linen bandages.

According to the museum's conservation department, X-rays revealed that the mummy of an adult man lived in the Ptolemaic period in the third century BC. It was embalmed in the Egyptian way that dates back thousands of years.
