Your body is bound for the tomb, but there are a range of 'accessories' that every good mummy needs to make an impression in the afterlife.
Finger and toe stalls are only used in top-of-the range mummifications. Can you afford these?
Amulets, small charms which will provide you with magical protection, should be tucked in your bandages. The scarab beetle amulet is especially important as it can be used at the weighing of the heart ceremony during your funeral.
A Portrait Mask might be placed over your head once you are wrapped.
Above right; it is important that your portrait mask looks like you. Some of the pharaohs have solid gold masks, but a thin layer of gold leaf can look just as good.
Based on the book You Wouldn't Want To Be An Egyptian Mummy!
