Mace mentions work on a collar from box Carter number 54, which might refer to Carter object numbers 54.k or 54.r. He also "removed part of bead garment from Box 21" and was waxing "a bead hassock and sandal" from Box 21. The bead hassock could refer to object numbers 21.s or 21.w.

Jan. 5.

Noted collar: spread out and

put in water to soak. ? how did

salt get on lid of box.

Started on Box 54.

Jan. 6.

Removed part of bead garment

from Box 21. Noted order of

bead bands. Below this full

of sandals. These badly stuck

together.

" 7^th

Working almost entirely on Box

21. Quite evident from state of

this that plunderers had turned

it upside down. Beaded robe

in too bad a condition to save,

so decided to preserve parts

in wax, and reconstruct whole

on new cloth.

" 8.

Working in tomb in morning

waxing a bead hassock and

sandal. In afternoon on Box 21.

From state of tomb evident that

plunderers had left the place

all topsy turvy, & that the Priests

had made a hasty and superficial

tidy up, cramming things into any box,

regardless of former arrangement.
