As yesterday's work carried us on until 1.30 pm Burton
had to make the photographic records of the King's Mummy,
lying {in} situ, today. This was done in detail but the general
view has yet to be made tomorrow.

In detail the Mummy is wrapped to represent Osiris, the mask
bears that gods attributes, but the likeness is that of ~~the~~ Tut.Ankh.Amen.
- placid and beautiful, with the same features as we find upon
his statues and ~~outer~~ coffins. The mask has fallen slightly back,
thus its gaze is straight up to the heavens.

The face, headdress and collarette are of massive sheet gold.
Eyes of aragonite, pupils of obsidian, eyelids and eyebrows
of lapis lazuli.

The symbols, the uraeus (Buto) and the vulture (Nekhbet),
of Upper and Lower Egypt, upon the forehead are also of massive
gold inlaid with semi-precious stone and glass.

The b/<c>onventional Osiride beard of gold inlaid with lapis lazuli
in pleated pattern.

The three necklaces which are attached to the neck of by means
of solar ~~sep~~ serpent fastenings are of different coloured gold beads
divided at intervals with faience beads.

The scarab carved out of some black material (not yet recognised)
is also attached to the throat by means of long flexible bands
of inlaid gold work bordered with beads

The collarette, with hawk-head clasps at each shoulder
is of sheet gold incrusted with inlaid stones representing beads
and pendants.

The closed hands, which appear to be sewn to the linen wrappings,
are separate to the mask: they are, of like the flesh of the
face, of burnished gold, ~~hav~~ and have bracelets of inlaid stone
upon the wrists. They hold the crook and the flail made of
some (?) composition decayed from action of humidity.
