THE NINETEENTH DYNASTY
remains, also I was laid up for a week or two.
In dealing with the minor groups of the XVIIIth
and XIXth dynasties it has been needful, there-
fore, to resort to the note book of Major Hynes,
who had sketched a good deal which I have
copied here. These outlines will suffice to show
the collocation of types, though not so precise as
the larger drawings. The long-necked bilbil (as
216E, 256 C, and others) was only noted, without
drawing, so the varieties of form were not stated;
the same is true of the long red vase 256 G, 283 A,
and probably the scale of 264 B is too large.
216 was the burial of Bakt-per-shenut, “Servant
of the Court.” The bilbil E seems to belong to the
reign of Tehutmes III, and this will, then, date the
glazed pectoral, F, and the curious gold fish(?), B.
223 is named, by the neck-bead, for the priest
of Ptah, Moy, who may have been the same as
the “chief of the temples of Ptah” on the Leyden
stele, v, 35.
236, named by the ushabtis of Apuy, is certainly
of the XIXth dynasty.
237 with canopic heads of wood and rude pottery,
and 243 with a head of green glaze, are probably
XIXth dynasty.
245 has a small wooden cup, B, with a circular
lid of wood; probably of the middle of the XVIIIth
dynasty.
246. The curved ebony stick is a puzzling piece;
the joint proves it not strong enough for any force,
and the butt seems as if to fit at right angles on
to a pole, like the joint of a bar on to a chair leg.
253. The sistrum head of Hathor, also in 261,
was part of a wand for dancers, as in Sanehat
the princesses took their sistra for dancing.
254. The unusual coffin with a ridge lid contained
the burial with the five baskets of toilet vases,
pis. lv, lvii. The coffin is 60 X 22 X 35 inches high ;
the ends rise 7 J/2 above the opening, the ridge is
4j/2 high, and the body 24 inches high, on legs
3r/2 long. (Cairo Museum.) The date appears to be
of the reign of Tehutmes III, by the mixture of
stone kohl pots and wooden tubes. The same date
may be given to group 256.
260 is probably about the reign of Sety I. The
blue glazed canopic jars (lv, 22) are too fine for
later times; yet there were as many as 24 ushabtis,
marking the date after the XVIIIth dynasty. The
name Kho-em-apt occurs, and probably the alabaster
canopies, A, were for him; the blue glazed canopies
were for the chantress of Amen, Hathor.
261. The private name Ay on the wine-jar sealing
brings this group early in the XIXth dynasty, to
which it must belong by the ushabtis 44 to 48.
263 is the pottery from the interesting group of
Men-kheper the scribe, xlviii, 25 to 32. The date
cannot be after Tehutmes III as there are three
kohl pots, but no tubes except the fluted one 263 H.
267. The name is illegible. The small face B
is from a cartonnage, of a style which is the
last degradation of the Middle Kingdom masks,
extending down to Tehutmes III (Garstang, Arabah,
pis. xviii, xxi). The banding on C suggests that it
is an early form of bilbil.
270 includes a large flat bag with rope edging
and handles, B. The red polished pot A is not
later than Tehutmes III. A rod of wood, C, has
two grooves in it near the ends; the purpose is
unknown.
273 is a group of Tehutmes III, by the style;
with it was the beautiful canopic head of red
polished pottery, lv, 23, and parts of others.
276 A, the burial of Tazarti, is described in sect. 3g.
This group must be early in the XVIIIth dynasty.
280, a group with the wooden statuette xlix, 5.
The scale-pattern vase of green glaze and the stone
model vase B, seem early; yet the long glass beads
found with these would bring this late in the
XVIIIth, or into the XIXth dynasty.
283 is a very interesting group for the impressed
glass, of which there were four figures, one copied
here, J. Hitherto such impressed glass has been
supposed to be of the Ptolemaic or late period;
here it is well dated to the middle of the XVIIIth
dynasty, and therefore as early as any common
use of glass in Egypt.
562. This group is of Hyksos age; compare B,
C, with xli, 1 to 3; and the style and colour of D
with xli, 15, 32.
1719 A is probably a IXth dynasty pot, left in
the grave from previous use.
1723 is a fine group, well dated to Tehutmes III,
by the style of the scarabs lviii, 12, 14, 22, and the
glazed bowl of a full rich blue, J (Cambridge).
