" I will loose the loins of kings," that is, weaken, unstrengthen, the reverse of girding or
binding, which is strengthening, and the probable import of this hieroglyphic.
Four of the samples are in red stone or marble, two in porcelain, and one rude and unformed in
sandstone, and one, S92, in red jasper : this one would have been two and a half inches high,
if the loop had not been broken off.

These feathers probably belonged to a statue of Osiris, in his quality of judge of Amenti in the

Below the disk may be seen the indication of the horns. This specimen is made of hard wood,
probably the acacia, which bears the little yellow, flower and produces the gum arabic. It has
been carefully executed, and painted with blue lines, proceeding from the stem to the mar«'in,
representing the small filaments of the ostrich feather, which is the emblem of truth and
justice.
