A screen-matched life-size Royal Guard Mummy from Stephen Sommers' action-adventure sequel The Mummy Returns. Two mummified guards stood on either side of the chest containing the Bracelet of Anubis, which was discovered by Rick (Brendan Fraser) and Evelyn O'Connell (Rachel Weisz) in 1933 when they explored an Ancient Egyptian pyramid with their son Alex (Freddie Boath). The distinctive production-applied scratches and gold-coloured paint marks on the sword screen-match to the one seen in the guard's hands within the chamber.

The figure comprises an internal metal skeleton, urethane foam padding and resin bone detailing. A dried foam-latex skin covers the piece, finished in shades of grey to look old and decayed. It comes dressed in a fez-like leather headpiece (labelled "Dummy III"); a decorative urethane necklace; a layered leather collar; a pair of armbands; a pair of bracers; a layered leather skirt (labelled "Key Chamber R/Hand"); and a decorative belt. Completing the figure is a dense urethane curved sword, which is placed in its hands.

Several components are adorned with scarab emblems, and green paint is applied to replicate verdigris. Browned pieces of cheesecloth are glued all over the figure, representing the wrapping from the mummification process, and the lot has been heavily distressed, with faux cobwebs and dirt applied. It is presented on a black-painted wooden base, with an untested electrical connector located under the left foot. Parts of the figure have hardened and become fragile over time. Dimensions: 45 cm x 88 cm x 184 cm (17 3/4" x 34 3/4" x 72 1/2")
