Inside the coffin is a corn mummy composed of grain and earth wrapped in linen that is covered with resin. The head of the mummy is fitted with an Osiris mask of gilded beeswax with the eyebrows, eyes and beard painted in black pigment. The four clay magic balls have white markings and once accompanied the corn Osiris as magical protection. The lower part of the lid has two columns of inscription. The text is Utterance 368 of the Pyramid Texts, reading: “words spoken by Osiris…. Your (mother) Nut (spreads herself) over you in her name….For you are the greatest of her children. Geb is gracious to you….He has given you your head….He has caused Thoth to reassemble you. . . " 
 Corn-mummies embody the forces of rebirth under the control of the god Osiris. The process of assembling grain and earth in the form of Osiris symbolizes the cosmic cycle of death and rebirth and its preservation. The object was once part of the collection of Viscountess Elizabeth Dow Dalton from the early 20th century and was purchased by Georges Ricard for the Senusret Collection on 24 July 1974 from Roger F. Galliano, a member of the Conciliation Commission at Central Customs in Paris, certified expert of the Chamber of Auctioneers of France and Judicial Officer of Geneva.
