介绍（中）	这个道具是在塔巴克穆特的腹部发现的。由两根单独包裹的手杖组成，然后用抹布绑在一起，它在体内的存在表明它被用作千斤顶来帮助防腐过程。木乃伊化过程在21王朝达到顶峰，身体尽可能逼真。身体的准备通常不仅需要切除和单独保存内部器官，还需要插入假眼睛和包装四肢和其他区域以增强其外观。这个道具可以折叠，通过下腹部的切口插入，然后在体内重新打开。因此，它可以使防腐师更容易去除内脏（在这种情况下没有返回身体）并插入包装材料。也有可能该道具被用来增强木乃伊的形状并促进包扎过程。
介绍（英）	This prop was found inside the abdomen of Tabakmut. Consisting of two pieces of cane wrapped individually and then tied together with a rag, its presence within the body suggests it was used as a jack to aid in the embalming process. The mummification process reached a zenith during Dynasty 21, with bodies made as lifelike as possible. The preparation of the body often entailed not only the removal and separate preservation of the internal organs, but also the insertion of false eyes and the packing of the limbs and other areas to enhance their appearance. This prop could have been folded, inserted through the incision made in the lower abdomen, and then re-opened inside the body. It could thus have made it easier for the embalmers to remove the viscera (which were not in this case returned to the body) and insert packing material. It is also possible that the prop was used to enhance the shape of the mummy and facilitate the bandaging process.
