According to P. Chenna Reddy, director of Archaeology and museum, the linen bandage of the mummy would be replaced. The experts will also replace the existing material stuffed inside the mummy with scientifically treated cotton foam material.

The crust of the body, lying in an airtight enclosure, is fragmenting at the face, shoulders and around the feet. The wrapping has started to peel and the cracks are very conspicuous at several places.

The mummy was brought by Nazeer Nawaz Jung, son-in-law of Mir Mehboob Ali Khan, the sixth Nizam or ruler of then Hyderabad State around 1920. He gifted it to the seventh Nizam Mir Osman Ali Khan, who in turn donated it to the museum in 1930.

The museum located in Public Gardens in the heart of the city was then known as Hyderabad Museum. But after the merger of Hyderabad State with the Indian Union it was renamed the State Archaeological Museum.
