egypt-museum:Dame Rai MummyLady Rai (ca. 1570/1560-1530 BC) was an ancient Egyptian woman of the early 18th Dynasty who served as nursemaid to Queen Ahmose-Nefertari. Her mummified remains were discovered in Tomb TT320 (DB320 Royal Cache) next to Deir el-Bahari in 1881 and she is estimated to have been in her 30s at the time of her death. The mummy was unwrapped by Grafton Elliot Smith in 1909. He distinguished her mummy as “the most perfect example of embalming that has come down to us from the time of the early 18th Dynasty, or perhaps even of any period. Now in the Egyptian Museum, Cairo. -- source link
