TAA i.2.2.3

{21 November 1923, continued}

delicate to admit of any but the most careful of handling.

Scaffolding must be got round shrine, and a means must

be contrived of getting actually above the Shrine. Sides and

ends must be fastened in some way to prevent falling inwards

or outwards.

Practically certain that the sections of the outer shrine

will be too big to allow their being taken out of the chamber

until the inner shrines have been dismantled. If so they

will have to be stacked against the sides of the chamber.

Points of the compass market/<d> at the four corners of

the shrine. These wrongly placed. If error were discovered

at time of burial it was probably too late to change, if

as we suspect, outer shrine cannot be taken out without

dismantling inner ones.

Spent rest of day, waxing & mending one side of lion-couch.
