"The Left-hand Treasury," (3) ["The Right-hand Treasury"]
missing owing to the loss of that portion of the papyrus,
and (4) [ 𓂀 ] "The Treasury of the Inner-
most," also called [ 𓂀 ]
"The Second Corridor which is at the back of the House
of Gold."
As/<Since> the arrangement of these subsidiary rooms leading
from the sarcophagus chamber is quite different to the
corresponding treasuries in the Eighteenth Dynasty tombs,
this tomb-plan being of a later and decadent period,
and as some of the terms used by the architect are <perhaps> am-
biguous, an explanation is called for here.
The term "Resting-place of the Gods" refers to re-
cesses <forming a sort of shelves> cut in the north and south sides of the corridor
called "the Shabti-place," – a short passage leading
to "the Right and Left-hand Treasuries" and "The Trea-
sury of the Innermost." The right and left-hand trea-
suries have Shabti-figures painted upon their walls,
and were evidently intended for the purpose of housing
those funerary statuettes. Upon the walls of the <'Treasury of the> inner-
most' treasury are painted Canopic jars, kiosks and var-
ious pieces of furniture, which suggests that the
Canopic jars were stored there, much as Tutankhamen's
Canopic equipment was housed in the treasury leading
from his sarcophagus chamber. In the <shelf-like> recesses called
"The Resting-place of the Gods" are pau/<i>nted twenty
gods and goddesses in kiosks, and above each of them
offerings such as loaves and vessels upon a mat.
These gods, although represented in kiosks, should not,
I think, be confused with the statuettes of divinities
