Its forms and decoration have naturally varied in the course of the different ages, and thus have an historical interest. With regard to its accompaniments (bedding, coverlets, etc.) we know nothing, save from mural decorations in private tomb-chapels, where a white kind of mattress and a head-rest (generally of wood) is almost invariably shown, and even as early as the Third Dynasty it was accompanied with a small low rectangular table (cf. tomb of Hesyre). At that early period they began by having only two short legs at the head-end, and thus formed an inclined couch, to which leather, or some suitable material, was laced and held taut to the framework by the means of thongs. This form of couch developed into a four-legged bedstead, comprising an oblong rectangular frame-work to which feet were attached to the four corners, like the

North African native angarib of the present day. In the Old Kingdom the feet took a bovine form, which later, especially during the New Empire, they are of feline shape. An upright foot-board, generally comprising three panels, was added to the foot end, thus forming the fully developed Pharaonic bedstead, such as we find in this tomb. A convenient height for the head-end of the bedstead was obtained by placing under the feet specially made wooden blocks varying in different degrees of height; for elasticity, a web of linen string was woven across, from end to end, the framework proper, and the strengthening slats (stretchers), under the framework, were sufficiently curved so as to be clear of the sagging web when it was slept upon.

Bedsteds of the New Empire, such as are found in this tomb, were elaborately decorated with inlaid wood-work, sheet-gold, ivory and ebony. One specimen in this discovery is of particular interest, it being a folding bedstead for portable purposes. (see No. 586).

The walls spotted with brown fungus, fairly uniformly.
Ceiling only a little spotted.
This fungus is noticeable over the black pointing marks.
Usual pink hue covering chamber, possibly slightly more at S. than at N.
Scarlet patches on natural surfaces.
Plaster covering of imperfections in wall also pink.
Generally speaking this chamber seems in a worse condition than the others.
The pink discoloration on ceiling particularly marked round mouths of natural cracks and fissures.

There were several wine-jar of this type - mostly broken - but from the fragments only 9 to 10 approx. can be identified, and of these see Nos. 431, 498, 499, 502 and 409.
Dried lees were found inside the two unbroken specimens Nos. 431 and 502.
The plaster & rush stopper (type Z) and impressions of seal (type I) seem to have been the types of stoppers and seals employed for this particular make of wine-jar.
By their fragile nature they suffered much from the ill-treatment that occured in this (Annexe) chamber.

BASKET-WARE 2

These baskets show by their symmetry the natural aptitude of the expert workman of the industry.
Some of the smaller and finer weaved baskets are adorned with patterns formed by inter-weaving stained with the natural grasses.
Most of the coarser baskets are made of fibre `skains' from the fruit bearing stalks of the date palm, bound with the fronds of the dôm palm, or as in some cases the date palm, which were in all probability first soaked in water to render them both leathery and pliable.
The fibre `skains' were probably obtained by beating the stalks with a mallet; a metal knife or clippers was possibly employed for cutting out material; and a bone or metal bodkin for drawing through the fronds when connecting the strands in building up the basket.

The 'strokes' employed in the construction of these baskets appear to have been similar to those used today by native basket-makers.

White Film on Various Objects. 1

592 Stool. Irregular patches of a thin, white, powdery film. This when examined chemically was found to contain a fair proportion of sulphate and of calcium and a small proportion of carbonate and to be free from chloride. The material, therefore, was not wholly or even largely limestone dust (such as might have settled on it in the tomb) but consisted principally of very finely powdered calcium sulphate (gypsum). The film, however, had not the appearance or thickness of an applied paint and appeared to be unintentional.
547 Box A similar-looking film in irregular patches consisted chieftly of calcium sulphate.
615 Lid of Box. A similar-looking film recurred: it was slightly translucent. The material was inorganic and hence not a resin or gum applied as a varnish; it was rather more coherant than that on Stool 592. The ony ingredients that could be found were a large proportion of sulphate and of calcium, evidently present as calcium sulphate.
Stool 414. A similar-looking film. This also gave the tests for calcium and sulphate

Stool 442 E. A similar-looking film. This gave the tests for calcium and sulphate and also for carbonate. The sulphate, however, was only in very small proportion, but the carbonate occurred in fairly large proportion. The material therefore was largely limestone dust.
Box 388. A similar-looking film in large amount. This consisted essentially of calcium carbonate (i.e. limestone dust) and did not contain any sulphate.
