content: From NMNH Exhibit Hall "Eternal Life in Ancient Egypt" label for this artifact, 2011: Mummified crocodile, 332-30 B.C. Priests took great care with these wrappings, modeling the head, nostrils and eyes in linen and covering the body in a crisscross pattern secured by linen thread. The remains inside look less impressive: a flattened crocodile, possibly a hatchling, covered with resin.
