This is a photograph of the canopy that was buried with Queen Meresankh III. In the excavation report, it is described as the following: "There is a canopy supported by bulb-headed tent-poles, covering a bed with lion-legs higher at the head-end, an armchair, but with a lion under the arm instead of papyrus flowers, a carrying-chair,a head rest, and boxes for ointment jars, clothing, and other objects."

We humbly ask for your help. We need your support to keep Mused running.

We're the largest independent hub of digital cultural heritage, and we survive on donations of about $30 USD. Less than 1% of people donate. If everyone reading this donated $5, our fundraiser would be done within a day!

We support training and providing technology to the communities that take of the monuments where we work to digitize their own cultures. For the price of a cup of coffee, you can continue preserving cultural heritage for future generations.

Thanks for reading, and we hope you'll consider donating. — Luke Hollis, Cofounder, Mused
