THE TOMB OF APY
(7) M. Kuentz found in the vicinity, and kindly handed over to me,
the right jamb of a door-framing, on which were incised records of homage
(A) to a king "that he may grant life, weal, and health, ability, favor,
love, a happy life, and enjoyment of health; (B) to [Mut, lady of] Asher,
that she may grant that my mouth may be wholesome, and access to her
shrine, until I reach peaceful retirement; (C) [to Hathor, mistress] of all
the gods, the eye of Re, without her peer, lady of the two Egypts, and to
Horus, that they may grant life, etc. (as above). For the ka of the sculptor
and servitor in the Place of Justice, Apy." The first prayer is on the cheek,
the other two on the face, of the jamb (Plate XL, 4).
Of objects there were found:
(i) Three pieces of pierced woodwork; possibly from a burial cata- 0ther obJects
falque, or the board laid over the mummy in the coffin. They comprised
the upper parts of figures of a man and a woman which must have been
about seven or eight inches high, and of a kneeling figure of the winged
Maret, cut out of half-inch wood, and originally set in a frame. They
were fairly well executed and brightly painted on a stuccoed surface and
must have formed part of an attractive whole.
(2) A sherd with a sketch of men carrying a palanquin of a king
(Amenhotep IP); probably the draft for a scene (Plate XLI, 23-2/i).
(3) A fragment of a box in limestone with a polychrome text,
tt) An ostracon with a rough sketch of a bearded face.
(5) A piece of a pink jar, painted with garlands.
(6) Necks of two "pilgrim" bottles.
(7) Two drop beads in blue and in red glaze.
(8) A bowl filled with fine dust (disintegrated rootsP), a cake of mud
above this, and the stem of a small plant.
(9) Bits of stuccoed and painted coffins and cartonnage of late date.
(10) Two lamps of classical type.
(11) A mud tile one foot square, with a hole through the center.
(12) Many fragments of wine jars from the brick shaft. Three had
carried hieratic inscriptions (Plate XIX, 1), and one jar could be built
up to a fairly complete state. The texts run: "Year 5o. Wine of the
