Carter No.: 354

Handlist description: Hassock

Card/Transcription No.: 354-2

REMARKS: The Hassock when found was in a parlous condition; most of the bead-work fallen away and the frame-work badly crushed. It was only with great difficulty that it was extricated and what little of its bead-work left intact preserved.

A similar specimen was found in the Antechamber but equally in bad condition.

From the frailness of these specimens, one would be led to suppose them to be for sepulchral purpose only.
