596 BUNDLE OF FAN, STICKS, BOWS, and ARROWS
(See 599)
POSITION:
Cast on top of miscellanea under bed (No. 377) at S. end of
chamber (see photos 1149, 1150).
DESCRIPTION:
A group comprising a stock of fan, nine staves, ten bows, and
eleven arrows which had originally been tied up in a piece of
linen - (?) of the nature of a quiver (see No ... in
Antechamber). The fan-stock No. 599 most probably belongs to this
group. The linen was far too deteriorated to preserve - in fact
only much oxidized fragments remained.
These articles may possibly have come from box 370, or from box
50, or belong to sundry groups of similar kind found in the
Antechamber.

22 pieces.
(?) original place of these objects.
See box 370, and Box 50, whence the weapons and staves may
possibly come.
