82. PI. xiv. Stele of Ay, see section 20.
PI. xv. No. 1, see section 20.
Nos. 2-7. Miscellaneous objects of the Xllth-
XVIITth Dynasties.
No. 2 is a slate palette of the Xllth Dynasty
found in a tomb of that date in cemetery G.
No. 3 is an inscription from a grey basalt sta-
tuette of the XHIth Dynasty. No. 4 is an ala-
baster hollowed dish in the form of a fish,
probably of the XVIIIth Dynasty. No. 5 is a
fragment of a clay sealing of about the Xllth
Dynasty. No. 6 is the inscription upon a frag-
ment of a steatite statuette of the Xllth Dynasty,
found in the Osiris Temenos. Nos. 8-10, scarabs
from tomb, /x 18, a later burial in the Middle
Fort of the XVIIIth Dynasty. From a rifled
tomb comes No. 11, a beautifully worked scarab,
engraved with a charm against fear.
No. 12. Type of six pairs of gold uraei found
in a rifled tomb of Cemetery v. The tails are
fixed on separately behind. No. 13 is an ivory
object of unknown use from a plundered tomb
in the Middle Fort.
No. 14. A very fine ivory kohl-pot of the
XVIIIth Dynasty. (A photograph is on pi. xvi,
No. 2.) The side shown in the drawing is
convex, that in the photograph is slightly concave.
It will be seen that on the side shown in the photo-
graph are the remains of three pins. A similar
triple kohl-pot is shown on pi. xlvi of El Amrah
and Abydos, and pi. xxi of El Arabeli.1
1 Note on the method of carrying the kohl-pot.—In
the Cairo Museum, Salle N-T, there is the lower part
of an XVIIIth Dynasty quartzite-sandstone statuette,
belonging to the a _ =^ ft $[ Hereditary prince
Aahmes, and suspended from his waist-belt by ornamented
strings is a three-cylinder kohl-pot. When cataloguing the
fayence-v&ses in the Cairo Museum, Baron Von Bissing
observed that /coW-pots of this type often had small holes
drilled along the top edge between the cylinders ; and in
a foot-note on page 85 of his Fayencegefasse [Cat. Gen.
Mus., Cairo, 1902], he points out that these holes may be
for fastening on a lid to the pots. The statuette of
Aahmes, however, shows that they were made for the
purpose of hanging the pot to the belt, either by passing
83. Nos. 15-19. These objects, with the
three pottery vases, figured on pi. xxxiii (Nos.
33, 35, 36), were from a tomb dated to the reign
of Akhenaten, by the scarab on pi. xxi, 2. It
Avas in the Middle Fort, and the plan and section
are given on pi. xx 9. On pi. xvi, 7 ; xxi, 2;
are shown photographs of objects from this
tomb. No. 15 is a vase of a fine buff ware,
with whitened surface and is of a peculiar shape.
Traces of degenerated handles may be seen in
the knobs on the shoulders. No. 16, a vase in
the shape of a pomegranate of a fine yellowish
ware (see pi. xvi, 6, and El Amrah and Abydos,
pi. lv, 19). No. 17 is a pectoral of green glaze,
with figures and lines raised in black. The
holes in the back are so arranged that the string
will not show obtrusively from the front. No.
18, an amulet of blue-green glaze, in the form
of two ducks placed side by side ; this originally
served as a connector for two strings of beads.
No. 19, a green-glazed cone-bead of peculiar
shape. Turning to the photograph (xvi, 7), the
two small green-glaze kittens are types from a
necklace of blue beads alternating with these
animals. The two pairs of black pottery studs
were probably used as earrings. The same form
of large disc may be seen in the figures above
(Nos. 3 and 5), of the Graaco-Egyptian figure-
vases.
84. PI. xvi, 1. Ivory handle of a tray or
spoon from a plundered tomb in cemetery v.
No. 2. This has already been described with
the drawing (pi. xv, 14).
Nos. 3-5. These were all objects from the
grave of a girl, not more than fourteen years of
age, buried in the south-east corner of the
u&^j
Shuneh. The coffin had been an oblong box,
but was quite decayed. The tall standing figure
the strings through them, or by inserting pegs into them,
to which the strings were attached. Sometimes one side
of the object is flat or slightly curved, and this is now
seen to have been done in order that the pot might
rest against the body.—A. E. P. W,
