Studies[]
Mummy of a young adult man, aged about 21-26, in a cartonnage case bearing the name Djedameniufankh.
The skull was lying upside down with the mandible missing. A tooth lies in the skull's vault, and adjacent to this a displaced artificial eye. All the bony structures are in a state of complete disorder. The dorsal vertebrae are missing and the dislocated and fractured ribs are lying haphazardly. The arms are dislocated and their bone lie across the disjointed pelvis. The leg bones are well formed and free from fractures and dislocations. Lines of arrested growth are seen at the lower ends of the femora. Various teeth, a rib, and a clavicle are lying loose in the cartonnage in the region of the tibiae.
