MG.2038 is a sealed jar containing an ibis mummy. Its body is relatively well preserved: the feathers are visible, but the soft parts have essentially become dust. The spine is not completely in connection, and some vertebrae and groups of vertebrae are disconnected. Parts of the fabric were also reduced to powder as time passed. Traces on the jar, left by the craftsman’s hand, indicate that it was made on a wheel, the container being rotated clockwise. The jar was sealed with a cover glued with a mortar of sorts. The jar also has a hole in its bottom part. This hole’s shape and the ceramic fragment found inside the jar could indicate that it is due to striking with by a small hammer or pick, possibly during excavation.
