Butt plug mummification. 

In later periods when mummification was more prevalent in all classes (we’re talking Late Period and Ptolemaic), there were various costings for mummification. More expensive was the full evisceration by incision, done nice and neatly, and you got a nice looking mummy at the end of it. On a sliding scale of price were various skills, materials, and methods of preserving the body. 

One of the lower cost options for evisceration was to pour hot oils and unguents into the anus of the deceased and plug the anus up with linen and other matter. The body was moved to allow the oils to permeate, and then it was left for a time to allow the oils to dissolve the internal organs. When time was up, the plug from the anus was removed and the now dissolved organs would woosh out of the body into a receptacle, and disposed of.

La perfección diamantina

“De aquí partió en la negra noche
y su cuerpo hubo de morar en este cuarto
en donde sollozos, pasos peligrosos
de quien no viene, pero hay su presencia
amarrada a este lecho en donde sollozos
porque un rostro llama,
engarzado en lo oscuro
piedra preciosa.”

– Alejandra Pizarnik, Duración, Los trabajos y las noches

Rostros de desconocidos

Calma, serenidad, trascendencia
