seated on her throne, finely engraved in intaglio, 22 in.
high and 15 J in. broad......................£1. 12s.
715*A Tablet, representing a priest who is offering to Osiris,
seated on his throne, 22 in. high and 17 in. broad, £2. 9s.
716 A Tablet, representing a priest kneeling before Osiris,
Horus and Nepthe, and underneath are nine figures with
hieroglyphics, 24 in. high and 10J in. broad ... £1. 4s.
717*A Tablet in the form of a portico, covered with numerous
hieroglyphics and figures, coloured, 25 in. high and
14 in. broad..................................£4. 16s.
718*Another, in a similar form, with figures and numerous
hieroglyphics, 23 in. high and 14 in. broad. ... £1. 18s.
719 Another, with hieroglyphics, and a priest before a Priapus;
27 in. high and 11 in. broad ................ £1. lis.
720 A Tablet, with two large figures and hieroglyphics, 28 in.
high and 15 in. broad........................£1. 8s.
721 A Tablet, containing in the upper part three lines of hiero-
glyphics (dipthong), underneath are two figures, a king
and his queen seated on their thrones, in front of whom
is a table, on which are placed all the various offerings
used by the ancient Egyptians, and at the back are three
priests, each holding a live goose, 15J in. high and 27
in. long.................................. £25.
This very extraordinary and beautiful tablet is in the highest state of
preservation. The hieroglyphics are most delicately cut, and the figures
finely engraved in bas relief. It may be curious here to observe, that
the figure of the foremost priest has on his feet a pair of singularly
formed shoes, and which circumstance, we believe, does not exist in any
other tablet.
