The mummy of Nes-mut-aat-neru is wrapped in linen and covered with a beadwork shroud, possibly to imitate the dresses worn by divinities. She was an elderly woman who suffered from extensive dental disease, including a molar abscess extending into the jaw. Her advanced age is indicated by arthritic changes in the neck.
