Mummification[]
The girl's name, family history, and sect are present on the sarcophagus, however, they have heretofore proved undecipherable.
Additional[]
Lucknow Museum is one of the six museums in India including Hyderabad, Mumbai, Jaipur, Baroda and Kolkata, to own a mummy, but it always lacked the expertise to take care of it.
