The figure is simply wrapped and the head is featureless, the head has also detached from the body. The head is badly stained, almost black in fact presumably stained by resin. It also has some damage to the top of the skull, a small chip on the back of the head has revealed a hole in both the wrappings and the skull, through which the skull is just visible. The body is wrapped simply, in a coiled pattern with the result that the outer wrappings consist of one long single strand. Decorating the body is a hieratic text, presumably a funeral text, the text completely covers the body back and front. The condition of the piece is, apart from the detatached skull, pretty good; the body wrappings are clean and the ink inscription is clear. There is small object, possibly bone, visible in the picture, that has been placed in a plastic box with the mummy.

duruc.2017.137.2 | duruc.2017.137.2ff.jpg | data/raw/images/castle/2017 | A 19th century pencil and watercolour on paper by the artist and writer Cuthbert Bede, this was the pen name of the Rev. Edward Bradley. The watercolour depicts the Galilee Chapel of Durham Cathedral in the 1840s and is signed and dated to 1846, looking through the nave to the organ screen. The ceiling is depicted in wood and the four arches are depicted on either side with tall disproportionate pillars, and the full five aisles are visible in the image. It appears that Bradley has distorted the proportions of the arches, but he includes the tomb of the Venerable Bede and a verger holding his pole of office. The red pigment here has faded to a pinkish hue, which suggests that the other tints have faded entirely. _x000D__x000D_

durom.1999.132 | 1999.132-d4.jpg | data/raw/images/oriental/1999 | Korean hourglass shaped drum, the left head of the drum (the larger drum) also has a thicker skin than the smaller right hand drum and so this produces a difference in pitch between the two. The drum skins are attached to the wooden body of the drum with eight screw hoops, through which white cords run to the other side of the drum in a zig-zagging pattern. Along these cords are pieces of material in alternating blue and red with silver background, by moving these up and down the length of the cord, the pitch can be adjusted and the instrument tuned. The drum is hit with the hand and also with a stick. The drum is housed in a navy blue, material case with a zip. | 258drums

These cups are excellent examples of beautiful yet utilitarian objects – a marriage of function and form. The maker is an up-and-coming artist, who (as so often in Japan), is following in the footsteps of his renowned father, Kado Isaburo. The cups are lightweight, come wrapped in an orange cloth with the makers mark stamped in the corner of the fabric. | 244cups

durom.2013.238 | durom.2013.238-ff_1.jpg | data/raw/images/oriental/2013 | Poster for the animated cyberpunk action film Akira. The film is animated and all the images appear to be drawn not photographed. The main part of the poster has a dark grey background with industrial buildings resembling electronic components. In front of them stands a teenaged boy with a pair of goggles round his neck, wearing gloves and holding a futuristic looking gun. Over his feet is the name of the film in large English capital letters in black outlined in white, with the three Japanese characters over the top in red. Along the top edge is a series of small images, many showing faces of characters, one showing a space ship. Down the right hand edge there is a series of lines in white Japanese characters which possibly lists the director and animators. At the bottom is a line of large Japanese characters in white and blue, some emphasised in red and ending with an exclamation mark - this is probably the tag line for the film. Underneath it is a further line of Japanese characters. | 375posters
