The mummies of these two children, who lived in Egypt under Roman rule, have been skilfully bandaged so that the wrappings form diamond patterns. The masks over face and breast have been elaborately modeled, then painted and gilded respectively. X-rays of these mummies are shown on post card No. A-15. 30003-4" [With hand written message.]
