Question

Golden appliqué figurines of gods adorn a container holding one of these objects belonging to Artemidora. Another container for these objects probably depicts a certain Aline (“ah-LEE-nay”) wearing a gold-and-pearl necklace and a white chiton. Edward Burne-Jones allegedly buried (10[1])a tube after hearing (10[1])that these objects were ground up to make the tube’s brown paint. (10[1])Many boxes containing these objects, covered by panel paintings of wealthy Romans, were found in the Fayum Basin. One of these objects was formerly covered by an artwork with a plaited beard, spells inscribed on its shoulders, and alternating lines of gold and lapis lazuli, until it was removed (10[1])by Howard Carter’s team. For 10 points, identify these objects that, in the Valley of the Kings, are found inside sarcophagi. (10[1])■END■

ANSWER: mummies [accept answers indicating objects subject to mummification, such as mummified people; accept mummy brown; prompt on coffins or sarcophagi by asking “what is inside that?”; prompt on bodies; prompt on dead people or dead bodies or humans or corpses by asking “what process was applied to them?”]
