A number of pieces of inlay were of semi-transparent

material (x[?]/<t>hat looked like glass) with a coloured 

cement <(red)> underneath. In one case where it was 

possible to examine this; it did/<was> not appear to be

glass but a natural stone. It did not scratch 

with a knife blade and scratched glass & therefore 

was transparent quartz.

Mask 256

Collars (Three rows)

Practically identical with those on 255. 

Cleaned in similar manner.

A few of the rose-coloured beads had patches 

of black resinous material. This chipped off with a 

knife & finished cleaning in flame of spirit lamp. 

Immediately on placing in water and also in 

Acetone the red colour bec/<g>an to <become lighter & yellow and w> disappear but it 

seemed to darken again & turn more red again on 

heating.

The dark blue glass inle/<a>y in one of the end pieces 

was badly deteriorated – in some cases it had gone to 

a whitish powder & in other cases it retained its shape 

but was white & friable: the light greenish-blue 

glass was in good condition.
