(c) Faience vessels:
The fragments of faience vessels were very numerous. The greatest part were found
with the fragments of statues and in the debris about the main burial chamber.

14-3-594, 657, 1252, 1185. Fragments of alabaster.

(e) Coffin and bed:
No fragments of either coffin or bed were preserved, or at any rate identifiable. The
coffin is inferred with certainty from the coffin pit in room A. The type of burial is there-
fore to be taken as analogous with that in the five subsidiary graves, K 1035, K 1046,
K 1050, K 1059, and K 1000 B. This type contained both bed and coffin, but the location
of the bed was not always the same. In K X A, the bed was either over the coffin or beside
it on the north. The bed in K 1035 had the lower part of the legs (hocks and hoofs) cased
with heavy gold plate and it is to be assumed that the bed in K X A was also of wood cased
even more elaborately in gold.
(f) Miscellaneous objects:
xxii. Rough sandstone offering stone, 21 X 18 X 5 cm.; with fifteen hollows on the upper side;
three rectangular hollows side by side in the middle, five circular hollows on each long
side, four on each short side (counting the corner hollows twice); 14-1-290.
xxiii. Fragment of rock crystal, unidentifiable, three surfaces polished and incised with lines
crossing at right angles; 3.5 X 2.8 X 2.2 cm.; 14-1-514.
xxiv. Two round basket-covers (diam., 8.8 cm. and 11 cm.) and one oval basket-tray (10.3 X
9.3 X 2 cm.); 14-1-674, 675, 676, all from K X B west, north of KX A.
