The present study provides new data on funerary practices performed during the Old Kingdom at Gebelein (Upper Egypt) through the analysis of the tomb and the funerary equipment with the headrest of a complete wrapped and cloaked body with painted face bandages (S16731), which was radiocarbon dated to the 4th dynasty becoming the oldest securely-dated mummy that reproduces facial features through paintings on bandages.
