Abstract
This storage box is designed to keep pieces of cartonnage from the same mummy together in one container. A cartonnage usually consists of the following pieces: one three-dimensional section for the head and another for the feet, and a flat section which covers the chest. This system also can be adapted to other lightweight, three-dimensional, hollow objects.
