In the 1940s, her body and coffin were purchased by Ivan Lystager and donated to Aarhus University in Aarhus, Denmark in 1950. |

In the 1870s, she was purchased by Sir George Elliot, who donated her to the Newport Museum in 1888. She is also known as "The Salford Mummy", as she was later given to the Salford Museum and Art Gallery, before being transferred to the Manchester Museum in 1979.

She came from Akhmim, Upper Egypt and was involved in the cult of Amun. She died aged about 25. She appears to have been placed in a recycled coffin, as textile from the coffin lining was dated to 485 BC – a discrepancy of 300 years. |
| — | Tayesmutengebtiu | Chantress of Amun | 0900 c. 900 BC | 22nd | Female | 1850 1850s-1880s | Tayesmutengebtiu, also known as Tamut, was a priestess of Amun. Based on the wear on her teeth she was at least 30 years old at the time of her death and has an estimated height of 157 centimetres (5.15 ft). CT-scanning has revealed her mummy has artificial eyes of stone or glass and is equipped with many amulets, including a heart scarab, two embalming plates, wax figures of the four sons of Horus, and sheet metal amulets placed over the throat, chest, pelvis, wrists, and feet; her finger and toes are covered with metal stalls. She was probably buried at Thebes and was discovered between the 1850s and the 1880s in excavations by either Raymond Sabatier, Auguste Mariette, or V. G.

| — | Tjayasetimu | Temple singer | 0400 400 BC | 28th | Female | 1886 Before 1887 | Tjayasetimu was a "singer of the interior" likely of the god Amun; such singers were often daughters of the elite. CT-scanning has revealed she died around the age of seven and has shoulder length hair arranged on the sides and back of her head. Her mummified body was placed in a decorated cartonnage coffin depicting her as an adult woman. Dark liquid was poured over the entire front of the coffin which obscured much of the decoration; cleaning carried out in 1975 allowed the inscription to be read. Her mummy was purchased by E. A. Wallis Budge in 1887 for the British Museum. He assumed she originated from Thebes, the home of the largest temple to Amun, Karnak, but John H. Taylor and Daniel Antoine suggest she may be from El Hiba in northern Egypt. |
