Description: The remains of a mummified cat (kitten). Wrapped in yellow-brown strips of cloth with the top layer wrapped horizontally. The body is even-sized apart from the head which protrudes. There is a dark substance on the head. It is broken at one end. An x-ray revealed that it was modelled to look like a complete cat, but it only has two front limbs. There is no skull visible.
