Mummified Female Head The label associated with the head asserts that she was the wife of a New Kingdom pharaoh, the great Seti I. The golden patches on her skin, however, suggest that she was a wealthy woman of early Roman times.	Mummified Hand and Foot.
Mummified Birds Like most Nineteenth Century collections, the Niagara Falls Museum contains a number of mummified animals, cats and birds. Such animals are typically Late Period, and very likely Ptolmaic.	Horus-sopdu This wooden image of the Underworld deity, Horus-sopdu, is Late Period, between Dynasties XXIII and XXX. Images of this mummified hawk were often placed atop coffins or canopic boxes.
Ptolemaic Ba This Ptolemaic image of a soul, or ba, is only a few inches high, but expresses clearly the Egyptian aspirations for justice, and longing for eternal life.	Plastered linen mask(Roman times) 4th Century. This kind of plastered linen mask was often placed over the face the dead in Roman times, the style of this one points to a date in the 4th Century of the Common Era.
Additional plastered linen mask, last century. A great many Roman mummies with similar decoration were found at Den el Bahn in the last century.	Wooden face mask, late period twenty-fifth to thirtieth dynasty. This wooden face was cut from a man's coffin of the late period; XXXV-XXX111 Dynasties. The face was well carved and retains the original paint.
Funerary cone, reddish brown clay, inscription illegible. This funerary cone is one of the type used in Thebes to adorn the fronts of tombs. While the practice, intended to imitate the ends of closely spaced roof-poles began as early as the XI Dynasty, it continued down until Late Dynastic times. The present example reddish brown baked pottery is inscribed though the inscription is difficult to read under present conditions of display.	Faience Pieces. A number of faience pieces are in the collection.There are several sized of shawaptis all of XXVI or later style. Winged scarabs and other faience pieces appear to have been sewn onto shrouds
