the great pyramids of Ghiza. This stone will be
found extremely interesting as a geological specimen.
47. Head of the Dog-faced Baboon.—This is
the cover of one of the four jars that contained the
viscera of the mummified person in whose tomb it
was found. The baboon-headed god of Amenti was
called Hape.
48. Human-headed Coyer of another of the
Four Jars.—This divinity of Amenti was called
Amset.
49. Fragment of the Statue of a Mummified
Person, in a beautiful style of Egyptian
Art.—This figure bears none of the emblems which
are common to the more ordinary figures of the
same class, nor has it the curved beard. The work
and the hieroglyphics seem to be of the time of
Psammetichus. Limestone, 8 inches high.
50. Rude Statue of a Person in the Dress
of a Scribe of the Eighteenth Dynasty.—
Limestone, 7§ inches high.
51. Perfect Funereal Tablet.—In the semi-
circular top is the arch-formed heaven and the
winged globe. Below is a man making an offering
and prayer to three of the divinities of Egypt,
namely, Osiris, Horus, and Isis. Below this again
are three women and a man, probably the children
of the person in the compartment above. Three
lines of inscription placed horizontally terminate
this tablet.
52. Tablet dedicated to Osiris in the 26th
Year and 3rd Month of the Reign of Amasis.
