Hawara, a burial group
A group of five mummies placed into a shallow hole into the ground. The bodies were found in two layers, one above the other. Four of the mummies were adorned with a mummy portrait. Two of these portraits are now in the Petrie Museum, one is in Brighton, the fourth one had already been removed in antiquity.
