ROYAL TOMBS OF THE Tst DYNASTY.
like pi. xliv. 26. 31—34. Pieces of small boxes.
35. Middle plug, of a bow made of two horns.
36. Tip of a horn bow. 39. A curious piece of
a wooden cup, which has had a lid dropping in,
and secured by twisting it round so that a stud
should catch in a slot. 44. Part of a large conical
cup of Avood.
34. Pi, XXXVII. 19. A wand of wood
carved as a human arm, with bracelet; the
under side is almost flat. 18, 22. Small studs
from boxes. 32. Part of a fluted octagonal
column of ivory. 33. Part of an ivory carving
of a growing plant. 39, 40. Two fragments of
delicate ivory carving of feathers, probably from
a royal hawk in ivory of large size. 42.
Pieces of glaze for inlaying, of two different
designs alike in outline. 57. Piece of wood
carved to represent a growing shoot. 59—61.
Pieces of ivory tusk pierced with many holes,
the purpose of which is unknown. See also
pi. xxxix. 55—57.
Pl. XXXVIII. The numbers of the tombs in
cemetery W, where the objects were found, are
placed below each. 1. Part of a vase of
smooth light red pottery, marked with cordage
pattern. 2. Part of an ivory lid of a kohl slate.
8. Ivory hair pin, with degraded form of bird
on the top : the bird top is common in all the
prehistoric periods, see Diospolis Parva, p. 21 ;
pl. viB. 378 ; Naqada, lxiii. 47—50; lxiv.
75—84 ; and this is probably the latest example
of it, at the close of the archaic period. 9—29.
Examples of the various beads of this age,
grouped according to the graves in which they
were found. 34. Tip of a wooden staff which
has still some of the copper foil covering upon
it, and the nails at the side. 34. Piece of
inscription on pottery, incised after baking;
apparently the same signs as on pl. ii. 15 and
pl. xv. 113. 48, 49. Portions of ivory carving
of reeds. 50, 51, 53. Small slate palettes for
kohl; 50 is much hollowed by use. 54. Finely
carved ivory hand from a statuette, see also
pl. xxxiv. 19, 20. 57. A strange piece of inlay,
apparently of green glass, partly decomposed,
with a dark strip let into it ; the form is like
that of the piece on pl. xli. 82.
The lower division of plate should have been
marked as being from the tomb of Den—Setui.
85. Part of a mace-head of quartz covered with
green glaze, like the glazed quartz of Hiera-
konpolis. 86, 87. Pieces of fluted mace-heads
of dolomite marble, as on pl. xli. 95. There is
a repeated order of the objects from this tomb,
as pis. xxxviii., xxxix. belong to the first season,
and pis. xl., xli. to the second season of work.
90. The dried sycomore figs strung together
(as on pl. xxxii. 66) were found in great
i quantities ; such strings of figs are commonly
sold in Egypt at present.
Pl. XXXIX. 21—25. Pieces of a large
serpentine vase (see xli. 94), with cordage
pattern carved on it, like the vase of Zer,
pl. vi. 27. 26. Pieces of a cylinder vase of
ivory, aparently copied from a bucket made
of separate staves bound together. 32. Small
thin slips of ivory have been found, with a slot
running rather more than half through. 34.
Fragments of decoration of it as and anhh, like
the bracelet pl. vi. 1. 50. A thick piece of
ebony with notched edge, perhaps part of an
adjustable rack work. 51. Bull's leg in ebony
still attached to the side of a stool or casket.
54. Wooden tablet with ink writing still
partly legible.
Pl. XL. 1, 2. Plates of ivory, warped by the
burning of the tomb ; their purpose is un-
known. 10. Parts of a larsre bodkin of ivory.
21. A fragment of a bone comb, like the pre-
historic form (see Diospolis, ix. 22, or Naqada,
lxiv. 70); as this type entirely died out in the
later prehistoric age, it seems most probable
that this is an older object strayed here. 22.
Part of a flat stand of ivory with rope border,
and part of the name of Den on the edge.
23. Piece of ivory with the bee from the royal
titles. 24. Piece of ivory with part of a
