Below, over the body and legs of the King, are four transverse
and three longitudinal (one down the centre & one on each side)
bands of flexible gold work bearing inlaid inscriptions
bordered with gold beads. These ~~dep~~ straps or bands are dependent
from the hands and <in the centre of the body> a beautiful winged goddess Nekhbet
having a ~~human mal~~ human mail^sic {male} head, and body
and claws of a vulture. Un

Unfortunately the fine detailed workmanship of the goddess
and bands is hidden under a dark varnish like coating of
the pitch-like libation that has been poured over the Mummy.
I rather fear that this libation has also stuck the Mummy
to the bottom of the coffin?

Received a visit from Tewfik Eff. Boulos.

Burton completed the photographic records of the Royal
Mummy.

Having prepared a suitable wooden tray lined with wadding, I
was then able to remove the <external> trappings ~~that were on the body~~ -
comprising longitudinal and transverse bands of flexible gold work
finely inlaid with designs and inscriptions ~~mentioned above.~~ that were
sewn to the linen covering and t/<b>andages. Their threads were much
decayed, ~~and~~ they had to be removed piecemeal and placed in
their exact order upon the tray for future remounting.

The more one examines the external wrappings of the Mummy
the more evident it becomes that at least the outer ~~ones~~ <bandages> are completely
deteriorated, ~~almost~~ <one might say> carbonized, from the action of the libation ~~poure~~
that had been poured over it. Ones only hope is that we shall
find ~~those~~ <the> wrappings ~~improve~~ in better condition after several
thicknesses have been removed?

Lucas continued his reparation work upon the lid of
the Second Coffin.
