Pieces of fabric which were used for padding the mummy seem to belong to a big piece of linen cloth, made up of several widths horizontally placed ; it was reinforced with narrow strips (less than 5 cm wide) of a rougher and stronger linen fabric ; these strips formed a rather regular chequered pattern as a result of the repairs. The size of the trapezoidal piece (5,50-4,50 x 5,50 m) seems too big for a furniture curtain or a wall of a Nilotic boat shelter, hence the idea that this could be a rough sail. This idea is backed by the evidence of rings on the reinforcement strips (more exactly of a quarter of a wood ring and several tie remnants) which are reminiscent of the brail rings of the greco-roman sail (we are in the 1st century B.C.). ...
