Antechamber, Tomb of Tanwetamani, El-Kurru, Sudan, North-east Africa

At the entrance of the funerary chamber, Isis presents the red wrappings for the mummification of the king Tanwetamani - detail. She has on her wig and, drawn only in outline, the remains of a vulture, with its head on her forehead. It suggests her role of mother goddess. (Hand-held camera, by torchlight)
