DESCRIPTION OF THE PLATES.
the black and white glass beads is of the
time of Tahutmes III. The pendant 19 is
also of this technique. No. 17 is an alabaster
kohl pot, No 18 a piece of XVIIIth Dynasty
green glaze.
No. 20 is a pottery votive offering of the
XVIIIth Dynasty, probably dedicated after
child-birth. In this one there is a child near
the feet, but in many found at Naukratis merely
the nude figure of the woman is shown.
Most of these latter ones were in stone.
Nos. 22-27 were found in one of the fish
tombs. The pots were of the ordinary red clay :
the carving of the fish is particularly rough, as
was also the Hathor head 27.
PI. xli. The ushabti figures shown here are
of the cheap kind. No. 1 is a very poor
wooden one with a dummy inscription, and the
others show either fantastic or poor workman-
ship. All are of the XlXth Dynasty. The
stele, which was damaged, was found in some
rubbish. C. T. C.
PI. xliii. The views of Buto taken by Mr.
Currelly will give some idea of the area. In
No. 1 the S.W. end of the northern town is
seen on the left, and the temenos mounds in
the distance. No. 2 is taken from the temenos
wall, looking across the pits in the temenos to-
wards the northern town. No. 3 shows the height
of the temenos wall still remaining, seen from in-
side the N.E. gate. No. 4 is the same gate from
the outside. Nos. 5 and 6 show the Roman towns
as cut about by the sebakh diggers; they have not
yet touched the central parts, which are still
strewn with lichen-covered potsherds. Nos. 7
and 8 show a large hawk of brown-red granite,
which is lying at the W. edge of the northern
town.
PL xliv. The plan of the mounds of Ehnasya
is copied from the excellent map of Wilcken
and Sclmfer; but the positions of the mounds
are of but small meaning, as all those on the
north are Mohamed Aly's waste from nitre
washing and were originally in some other
place now flattened down ; also large mounds
on the west (here omitted) are similarly recent,
and the material stood somewhere else. The
Kom ed Dinar is the oldest rubbish mound here,
containing nothing later than the Roman age,
whereas the mounds on the east side continue
to be added to down to the present day by the
villages built over them. The thick Roman
wall to the south I identified, but had not time
to dig to find the continuation of it. The plan
given in Ahnas, pi. xiii, was from a very rough
sketch, and is quite erroneous. The small map
between the Fayum and the Nile serves to show
the relative position of all the best known sites
of antiquities of the district.
The plan of Buto is fully described in
Chapter X.
