(30/4186), three twigs (30/4194), two seeds (80/4196) 
and two roots (30/4191, 80/4195). At this point in the 
preparation of the bundle, two large pieces of plain cot- 
ton cloth had been wrapped about the entire body in five 
layers, and then seamed at the back. This concluded 
what is considered as Layer I in the construction of the 
bundle. 
Immediately over the plain wrapping that terminated 
Layer I were several textiles and a woven band that had 
been placed about the neck of the mummy and knotted 
in front. Contained in this band were a small gourd 
(30/4200), a fiber sling with a feather-tuff ornament 
(30/4170), a miniature feather fan with a fiber handle 
(30/4178), two shells stuffed with cotton (80/4210, 80/ 
4211) and a number of small objects wrapped in cotton 
(80/4201) (Plate LX XVI). It appears that at this point 
in the construction of Layer II, the mummy had been 
placed in a large basket made for the purpose (80/4227) 
(Plate LX XV), and several textiles had been stuffed into 
the container in front of the body. The bundle and the 
large basket containing it were then wrapped in two plain 
pieces of cloth that had been sewed together. This ter- 
minated Layer II. 
Three coarse textiles, which constitute Layer III, 
were then placed about the bundle. The last of these 
textiles had been folded and seamed up the side to form 
a sack. The mummy was placed in this and the slack 
folds were drawn together and stitched with a coarse 
thread. The sewing threads met at the top and were 
wound around the upper edges to form a top-knot. After 
the sewing of one of the slack seams, the threaded, wooden 
needle (30/4229) which had been used was left sticking 
into the folds of the wrapping. 
At the beginning of Layer IV a turban was wound 
about the upper part of the cone to form a “‘false head, ”’
