(2) Type vi-2. Canopic jar
Type VI-2 is the ordinary canopic jar of the Middle Kingdom with round shoulder, flat
base, and contracted mouth. No heads were found. The fragments were all of alabaster.
2. K III B-C, iii; fragments.
3. KIV A, x; fragments of several.
4. K X A, xv, xvi; fragments of several.
5. K XVI A, ix; fragments.
6. K XIX, v; fragments; diam., ca. 18 cm.
7. K XXXV, i; Fig. 165, No. 3.
Fragments of large jars perhaps of this type were also found in K XVIII and K XX.
(3) Type vi-3. Large jar with tapering, rounded base
This jar was probably like the complete example shown by Professor Petrie in Diospolis
Parva, Pl. XXIX, grave 91.
8. K XXXIX, ii; large fragments.
(4) Type vi-4. Large cylindrical jar
The large cylindrical jar VI-4 was only vaguely reconstructed, as no great number of
pieces were found which could be fitted together. In size and form, this jar seemed to be
more nearly related to the Old Kingdom jars than to anything recorded from the Middle
Kingdom. One fragment found in K XVIII was inscribed with a royal name in a cartouche,
Kheper-ka-ra, which was one of the names of Sesostris III, but may also have been adopted
by some king of the XIHth or XIVth Dynasty. I ascribe these jars to the Kerma crafts-
men. All were of alabaster.
9. K II front, debris (Vol. V, p. 128); fragments of two.
10. K IV A, xi; fragments of several.
11. K X A, xvii; fragment.
