and representations of the Boat of the Sun. With dedi-

9749 3). Sycamore wood ; painted figure of Ptah-

shar or Petosiris ; the receptacle in the pedestal, which has
a box-shaped cover, contains a small embalmed object.
Case 28 contains plumes, horns, portions of the attire of
Ptah-Socharis-Osiris, and the box-shaped covers of the
receptacles of the plinths of these figures.

Oasss 31-32. Sepulchral cones; certain conical bricks of
baked red terracotta, internally black, but red on the
exterior, in length about 9 inches and 3 inches diameter
at the base, on which are stamped, in relief hieroglyphs, the
names and titles of a deceased, to whom they are said to be
dedicated, are found about the tombs of Thebes, especially
those of the Drah Abu '1 Neggab. Their use is unknown,
but various opinions have been formed on this subject.
As they often exhibit a red or white colour at the base, it
has been supposed that they were used as stamps, or, as they
increase in numbers in the ground as the entrance of each
tomb is approached, it has been supposed that they were
employed to mark the sepulchre itself and the adjacent
ground which belonged to it. So close to one another, indeed,
are the sepulchres of the Drah Abu '1 Neggah, that these
cones appear to have been almost necessary. It is, how-
ever, possible that they may have been used for some
architectural construction, like the smaller cones of yellow
and representations of the Boat of the Sun. With dedi-
cations for Harnefef, high priest of Amen-Ra in Thebes,
in time of the 30th dynasty, about B.c. 350.
