SMALL OBJECTS
seems to have been an archer of a sacred corps.
Figs. 13, 14 are small glazed amulets, found near the
obelisk. Fig. 15 is a household amulet of Horus on
the crocodiles, which is at least clearly cut though
not more intelligible than usual.
16. PI. viii. Fig. 1 is a large scarab of Amen-
hotep III," equipping, or preparing, Egypt." 2 is a
scrap of the characteristic work of Akhenaten. 3 is
a fragment of Sety I. 4 has been described above.
5 is a glazed tile of Sety II for wall inlay. 6 is part
of a stele of Ramessu II dedicating an obelisk to
Horus, lord of heaven, prince of Heliopolis. 7 is a
fragment of Ramessu V. S is a fragment of Ramessu
sa Atmu, which may be the Ramessu mery Atmu of
the list of sons of Ramessu III at Medinet Ilabti;
this would agree with the report by Brugsch of seeing
his name on a block at Heliopolis. 9 is a piece of
a large alabaster vase of the princess Thes-bast-peru,
daughter of Usarkon II. 10 is a fragment of
Sheshenq III. n, a scrap of a cartouche of Apries.
12, the lower part of a statue in green serpentine
naming " Nekht-hor-heb, beloved of Hor-akhet-taui."
This group of fragments with kings' names shews
how largely royal gifts were made to the temple ; as
an interesting variety of names they were presented
together to the Glasgow Museum. Fig. 13 is a
glazed pottery ring with a chamaeleon on it, the only
such that I know. Fig. 14 is the handle drawn in
ii, 9. Fig. 15 is a quadruple mat eye with papyrus
plants between (see Amulets, 140^). Fig. 16 is a
pottery dish with central dish fixed in it (see section
in pi. x, 3). 17 is a limestone dish with central boss.
PI. ix. Fig. 18 is a hand from a statue holding a
globular vase. 19 is a slab from a tomb representing
a man named Sary, and his wife the singer of Amen,
Thiy, offering to his father, the royal scribe, keeper
of the palace of the king, keeper of the granaries,
Kha-em-uas.
Figs. 20, 21 are pieces of delicate work, of about
the xxvith dynasty. 22 is the house already de-
scribed under pi. vii. 23, 24 are two solid modelled
pottery heads; they are of the same class as the
solid pottery heads of the foreigners found at
Memphis. They are thus of some value as dating
such heads, since there were practically no manu-
factures going on at Heliopolis after the Persian
invasion, and so these heads are probably of the
vith century B.C.
Fig. 25 is the wall of the great western gate of the
city, 128 inches long, without either of the reveals
of the ends, which have been removed. The position
is shewn on the plan pi. ii, where the counter-wall is
dotted, as it has been removed, along with all the
southern part of the city wall.
17. Pis. x, xi. Pottery was found in considerable
quantity during the excavations among the town
ruins. It is of some value for dating types, owing to
the close of the history of the town at the end of the
xxvith dynasty. What is here drawn may be dated
from the xixth to the xxvith dynasty.
Figs. 1 and 2 are of the hard drab ware common
at Naukratis. 10 and 11 were found together in the
house, pi. vii, and ix, 22. The large jars, 14, 15, are
probably about the xxth dynasty. Fig. 16 may be
of the xixth dynasty. Figs. 18 to 30 were all found
together in one group by a long wall below the
modern village. The type of 20, 21 recalls the forms
of the late xviiith and xixth dynasties (Illakun, xix,
4 ; xx, 13) ; probably the whole group might be dated
to the xxth dynasty. Fig. 34 is probably xxiind
dynasty. 43 is a regular Greek form of the early
xxvith dynasty, black pottery with cylindrical
handles. 44 is a slightly later form in buff pottery.
45 to 48 are well-known types of the xxvth and
xxvith dynasties. 50 is probably about xxth to
xxiind dynasty. The brazier 51 and the pottery
table 53 arc both unusual types.
If ever the Egyptian Government removes the
obstructions which it has made by the new law, and
permits excavations on the deep temple sites as
before, I much hope to continue excavations at
Heliopolis, where there is promise of good results if
extensive and costly work is undertaken. In any
case we now have an outline of the temenos and its
walls, and have recovered the remarkable earthen
fort which appears to have been made by the Hyksos.
