Mummy Labels
Welcome to the virtual exhibit on these very special documents: mummy labels. They were used in Graeco Roman Egypt to identify bodies after their embalmment. We present different types of labels, their uses, materials, the languages in which they were written, what they tell us about the funerary world, and much more.
