Mace mentions " threading fine bands of beadwork" from box Carter number 21, "working on garments in Box 21" which could refer to Carter object number 21.m, 21.p, 21.q, 21.r, 21.v, 21.x, 21.bb or 21.cc , and that he "got out [...] some more of the cloth", potentially referring to those from Box 21.

Jan. 9

Market day. Worked out the

system of threading fine bands of

beadwork.

10.

Took up beadwork hassock today.

Came out pretty solid, but will need

a lot of treatment. Crowds of

tourists and pressmen. Otherwise

working on Box 21. Contents

a hay pie, jumbled up anyhow.

11.

Working on garments in Box 21.

Also noted imitation skin stool.

12.

Finally worked out border

patterns of the bead robe. Took

out and noted one of the

ducks' head sandals. Part of

this sandal was bent, showing

the force with which the contents

had been pushed down into the

box.

13.

Working on other bead sandals

in Box 21. Visit from Lacau.

14.

Waxed the lid of the painted

box. Got out rest of the sandals,

the amber necklace, and some

more of the cloth. Handed in an

article for the Times.
