Mace mentions the "child garments in Box 21" that "had the king's cartouche on", possibly referring to object Carter number 21.m. He also notes that "Burton photographed sandals" without further specification, and references "pieces of objects not belonging to this box [21] at all, including a piece of a chariot".
