has gloss | eng: Mummy 1770 was that of a 13 year old Egyptian girl. She was never known as anyone other than her museum number. When she was unwrapped in 1975 by the Manchester Mummy team,. including Dr. Rosalie David, believed they may be able to attempt a facial reconstruction. Her skull was incomplete and in many pieces, in order to reconstruct, the team put the skull together, made a plaster cast, and filled the gaps with wax. To create the face, wooden pegs were drilled into the cast, at the precise depth of tissue. Then wax was added to the cast over the pegs, slightly covering them. After the wax was added, glass eyes and a wig were added to the cast. Mummy 1770 was reconstructed twice, one was the 1975 version, the other was a modified version, with darker skin and make up. |
