This linen covering belongs to a set of nine bandages from the same mummy identified as Harpakhem.

The inscription on the bandage is a version of Chapter 160 of the Book of the Dead that contains a spell recited by the deceased on a papyrus-stemmed amulet around his neck, which he may or may not have identified with. It also makes direct mention of the name of the deceased, Harpakhem, and that of his mother, Taamun.

The spell in Chapter 160 reads as follows:
"Here is an Ouadj talisman carved in an emerald. It protects against all attacks of Evil. Thoth gives them to those who worship him, who keep away everything that does not please the gods. I prosper if the talisman prospers; if it is not reached I am not reached; if it is unusable I will be too. Here is Thoth speaking. His words give protection to my spine.
"Behold, thou comest in peace, O Lord of Heliopolis and Pe! Shu goes towards you; he finds you in Shenmú; nshem is your Name. Thou dwellest in the strength of the mighty god... Verily, thy members shall not suffer any harm, for they are protected by the same Tum..."
