A mummy of a crocodile: the skeleton of the small animal is enclosed in a covering made of plant fibre, around which linen bandages are wrapped. The above-the-eye bulges are reproduced on the outside. Applied strips of cloth form the lids, and a strip of cloth with black vertical spots represents the open mouth. The pupil is painted in black. The bandages around the back, sides and belly form a grid of black and white squares.
