The mummified body is
that of a child about 7 years old, who had apparently died of rickets
(also known as 'the English disease'), The child was given two dolls and a pair of oars to take
with her into the afterlife. The dolls were symbols of fertility, and
the oars were to help her cross the Nile. source: Zeeuws Museum Middelburg
