After the process of of wrapping the mummy of the Lady Djedmutesankh was completed, this shroud, bearing a full length figure of Osiris, was placed over the bandages and tied behind the body with cords specially woven in for this purpose. Once this was in place, the mummy was sewed into a plain outer sheet adorned with tapes. The shroud served to identify the deceased with the great god, Ruler of the Netherworld.On the shroud are two lines of text. Before the god is: "Osiris, Lord of Eternity, foremost of the Westerners." The line at the bottom bears the titles and the name of the deceased, who, as a wife or daughter of the High Priest of Amun, attained the rank of "First Chief of the Harem of Amun."
