LATER OBJECTS AND GENERAL PLAN.
17
pairs of blocks of sandstone (XVII, 11, 12) bearing
the cartouches of Siptah, and the titles and name of
the Chancellor Bay, whose importance at this period is
already well known from other monuments. Here we
find him acting as coequal with the king in the
founding of the royal temple. The deposit VIII,
which had been exposed by denudation and scattered,
is doubtless the source of the block of Siptah which
is in the Marseille museum, described by Maspero in
his catalogue (1889) as No. 36 ; in size, material, and
workmanship it is identical with the blocks from the
temple. In the deposits were many rough mortars
and pestles of sandstone (15), pairs of corn grinders
(13, 14), rough red-brown pottery jars (18), dishes
(19, 20), and little cups (16, 17). Tall stands for
supporting trays (21, 22) were in some deposits, and
most of the deposits had one large wine jar (23) with
inscription.
The actual numbers of objects found are as

There were also many silver foil plaques, as 8 to 10,
indistinct (11 in I, 1 in II, 8 in IV, and 4 in V) ; 4 in-
distinct gold foils, and a copper foil in I. A few types
of rings are not drawn, as the scorpion, frog, crocodile,
and uaz sceptre; in IV there was a scarab of Tausert,
and some hundreds of rough chipped beadsof carnelian.
The depositVIII was all broken up and scattered many
years ago, and the block of Siptah from that is now at
Marseille. There does not appear to be any regularity
in the numbers of various objects in each deposit, and
it is probable therefore that the glazed things were all
put in a basket, and some handfuls of the mixed
varieties were poured out on the cartouche stones.
CHAPTER VIII.
LATER OBJECTS AND GENERAL PLAN.
36. As all the temples which have been here
described were destroyed soon after they were built,
very few objects of later date were found in them.
This history was different from that of the Rames-
seum, which for stores and for funeral chapels
continued in use for many centuries. A small altar
of offerings came from the Ramesseum (VIII, 2)
dedicated to Osiris for Du-se-nub. The lower square
of inscription is on the edge of the slab.
Some excellent drawings on pottery were left
behind by a school of artists in the Ramesseum brick
galleries. A girl's head has been very carefully
drawn (VI, 14) and finished off with red cheeks ; but
a rival student took it up and added, with a different
brush, the dog scratching her nose. A good head of
a king below appears to be that of Ramessu IV; and
the head of a royal sphinx is probably of the same
D

pairs of blocks of sandstone (XVII, 11, 12) bearing
the cartouches of Siptah, and the titles and name of
the Chancellor Bay, whose importance at this period is
already well known from other monuments. Here we
find him acting as coequal with the king in the
founding of the royal temple. The deposit VIII,
which had been exposed by denudation and scattered,
is doubtless the source of the block of Siptah which
is in the Marseille museum, described by Maspero in
his catalogue (1889) as No. 36 ; in size, material, and

and pestles of sandstone (15), pairs of corn grinders
(13, 14), rough red-brown pottery jars (18), dishes
(19, 20), and little cups (16, 17). Tall stands for
supporting trays (21, 22) were in some deposits, and
most of the deposits had one large wine jar (23) with
inscription.
