Designed exclusively for the British Museum, a magnet shaped as an ancient Egyptian mummy.

The magnet is based on an original mummy on display in the British Museum. Mummification was the process of preparing bodies for the afterlife, and is most often associated with ancient Egypt. Carefully wrapped mummies, like this one, would often have been found in sarcophagi, large stone coffins.

Ideal as a small history gift.
