Ancient Egyptian Mummy Cartonnage Re-Used as "Papyrus" Writing Paper in Ancient Times! Ancient Egypt, Late Dynastic Period c. 664-30 BC. A group of 4 fragments of decorated cartonnage form an Egyptian mummy sarcophagus. Among the artwork is depicted the goddess Isis with arms outstretched. This sarcophagus was likely pillaged by ancient grave robbers, and the remains were stripped and re-used as "papyrus" writing paper! The language inked on the back has not been deciphered. A fascinating artifact which saw two distinct lives (afterlives?) in antiquity! Largest measures 70x25mm. Ex Washington DC collection, inherited from a family member who acquired these at auction prior to 1970. #AE3203G: $650 for the group SOLD
