THE CEMETERY G-
39
was a mummified hawk in wrappings, but
headless; also an Osiride figure, on a block
base 20 X 7 inches, painted on top and sides.
A clean vertebra, a finger bone, and two bits of
a tibia, lay loose on the sand by the funereal
furniture. Throughout the sand filling many
ushabtis were found lying apart, of which
examples are given on pi. lxxix, 2. These are
brightly glazed, of a brilliant light blue ; some
with purple wigs; and others larger, with
purple wigs and inlaid purple inscription for
the priest of Hathor and Uazit, Peduasar son of
Zedher. It is thus well settled that this style,
which is well known in late times, immediately
followed on the very degraded style found in
ushabtis of Zedher. The ushabtis were mixed
throughout the sand around the three burials;
three were in the sand within the sarcophagus
G, the lid of which was tilted; but more than
half lay in one group north of that. The total
numbers were, plain 2G6, purple heads 83,
inscribed 30 ; the total of 385 seems to have
been originally 400, like the deposits already
noticed.
The sarcophagus E was that of Horuza, son
of Zedher and Nebta-ahyt. The figure-shaped
lid is shewn in pi. lxxix, 7 ; the inscription in
pi. lxxv. [The lithograph should be corrected ;
col. i, 4 up, neb per Avithout a blur; col. iii,
5 up, no blur between ma a; col. iv, 7 up, add
t before a.] There Avas no inner coffin ; and the
cartonnage on the body Avas coloured, and not
gilt except on the face. On the breast was the
deep collar, the scarab and wings, the winged
Nut, the bier with Isis, Nebhat, and four genii,
the leg cover Avith red and white bands and
garland pattern, all of it too much rotted to be
moved, On the neck were three heart amulets
and an uza eye; on the body a red jasper girdle
tie, a two-finger amulet, and a large heart
scarab on the right side in the body.
The sarcophagus F Avas that of Pedu-en-ast,
son of Zedher and Nebta-ahyt. The lid is
painted with red hieroglyphics in outline, given
here in pi. lxxv. The style of the head is
coarse and poor. The body Avas covered Avith
cartonnage, like that of Horuza.
The sarcophagus G was that of Peduasar, as
the ushabtis were for him, and there is no other
unnamed burial in the tomb. But the sarco-
phagus, though of the fine style of that of
Horuza, Avas left quite plain. The lid Avas
tilted over 20° toAArard F : the inside was partly
filled with sand, and three of the ushabtis lay
upon the sand. At the neck of the mummy
Avas a bunch of amulets; some threaded in
order, as a uaz sceptre, 4 hearts, scarab, double
feather, 2 eyes, frog, eye, scarab, eye, Horus
seated, and nam; some also loose, as scarabs,
double feather, aper, heart, eyes, and girdle tie.
A large heart scarab lay in the pelvis.
All of these sarcophagi are taken to the Cairo
Museum.
34. The other large tombs need but little
notice, as nothing AAras found intact in them.
The tomb of Hapi-men was different to any
other (see pi. lxxx, G. 61), as the sarcophagus
Avas put in betAveen two other tomb chambers,
and had two brick IioIIoavs, A, B, at the sides of
it for the funereal furniture. In A was a box
of ushabtis, poorer than those of Peclu-asar, and
evidently later examples of the same family;
30 were plain small figures, 2 were larger, and
one Avas inscribed in a line down the front, for
flap-men. Over the ushabti box were two
Osiride figures and a hawk of wood. In B
was a canopic box, very carefully painted with
much detail, containing tAvo long round packets
of salt; and a figure of Nebhat. All of this
woodwork was destroyed by white ants. Within
the square stone sarcophagus Avas an inner stone
sarcophagus of the figure form. The face was
of rather debased work, but carefully coloured
in the eyes ; and down the front Avas a collar,
engraved and painted, and a line of inscription,
see pi. lxxv. Both of the sarcophagi had been
broken through at the side ; and the mummy
Avas torn to pieces over the breast, by ancient
