The Náprstek Museum, Prague, holds in its collection a mummy of a large bird. The mummy, along with other ancient Egyptian antiquities, was transferred to the National Museum in 1933 from the Esterházy manor in Tomášikovo, Slovakia. Originally, it was believed to be the mummy of a human child; however, examination through initially destructive and later non-destructive methods identified the object as a mummy of a stork, later of a sacred ibis.
