are narrow bands, four white and two vermilion-red, running up spirally from the
stem. The cup is of fine ' egg-shell' fabric.
(3) Handled bowls (fragmentary remains of two or three of which are seen in
Fig. 65), showing horizontal white lines on a dark brown and black slip. The
white lines cross the handle diagonally. The walls of these bowls are extra-
ordinarily thin ; about i millimetre in section.
(4) A very fine flat-bottomed cup, io-2 centimetres high, gradually expanding
from the base. It shows the natural surface of the clay, red above and black
towards the base. Of very fine fabric, the walls between 1 and 2 millimetres in
thickness. The occurrence of this type of cup is of interest, since it is identical in
shape, fabric, and even in the character of its firing, with a series of cups found in a
large jar under the floor of the First Magazine. (See Report, &c, for 1901, p. 48.)

(5) A cover (Fig 65 jii) with perforation and white cross lines on a brown slip
{9/4 centimetres in diameter).
To this later phase of the deposit also probably belong the remains of a
mosaic of shell plaques and a petal-like plaque of faience. It is also possible
that some vases of coarse alabaster belong to the closing period of the deposit.
A lid with a stud like knob somewhat resembles a steatite example of Xllth
dynasty date from Kahun.
