A fragment of a side-board, apparently like the above, was found in K IV in the section
nearest K III and probably came from K III;

Section, 10 X 9 cm.
Another fragment found in K III may have been from this bed, but I was unable to
identify the part from which it came:
K III A:
Fragment, 5 X 7.5 cm.
