THE FACADE AND COURTYARD OF THE TOMR
Plate LXXIX, G, shows a pyramid-shaped fragment of stone on
which a scribe of the Ramesside period (?) has painted with extreme rough-
ness a sketch of Hathor seated, staff in hand, before a libation vessel on a
stand. It is worthy of the men who effected the restoration of the name
of Amon in the tomb. The group of coffins and other definitely late re-
mains are of little importance and belong to the history of our general
excavations in this valley. Two blocks of poor limestone, with large,
rough work in sunk relief, and evidently derived from the neighboring
Ramesside temple, were found on the site: one shows a king "making
an offering of unguents" by presenting to the god a royal sphinx holding
a pot of ointment; the other, a fragmentary cartouche.
Scenes on the Screen Wall of the Portico. The fragments of sand-
stone relief which I assign to the inner side of the dwarf walls connecting
the columns of the portico will be found on Plate LXXI. They fall into
the following groups:
(i) Six guests, facing right, each of whom has a stand of food in front
of him (Nos. 9, i3, ill). The feet of Puyemre and of the table of bread
are also preserved.1
(2) A scene (No. 8), facing left, in which men present trays of three
cups of incense or grain and a piece of cloth(P). They are separated from
one another by divisions.2
(3) A scene of purification (Nos. 4, 4a), resembling one in Tomb j5
(No. 5).3
(4) A chariot (P), facing right (No. 1), with saises running behind (?)
and attendants (Nos. 10, 11, 12). Gf. Plate XXVIII.4
(5) A large standing figure, facing left (No. 2), might form a second
episode in the rite of purification.
'None of the fragments are connected; the guests may therefore have been arranged in two or
three rows.
2 They probably serve as determinatives to a list of offerings. Cf. Tomb na.
3 It might be a figure from scene 2 (cf. PI. XXXV); but the small fragment from a scene of puri-
fication (No. 4a) has better claims.
41 cannot restore fragment No. 1 in any other way than as a chariot, and the existence of the proper
attendants makes it almost certain. There would scarcely be head-room for a figure in the chariot. No. 6
shows that inscriptions were attached to the scenes; No. 7 I do not understand at all.
