enabling the consolidated outer layers of the wrappings to
be removed in large pieces. The <under> bandages which were in
~~grea~~ very voluminous were found to be equally decayed
and fragile, in fact, <as it eventually proved> the deeper and nearer the body,
the worse the condition.

C and D
Almost immediately below the outer crust of decayed
wrappings, were found, on the left flank, two ~~gold~~ sheet gold

It was decided therefore to remove layer by layer the
remainder of the wrappings. Here & there where the linen

that the work of binding was as usually practised
upon mummies of the New Empire. Here & there were
a number of lightly wrapped pads of linen, beyond

being reduced to the consistency of soot.

As the operation progressed the following objects <in layers> were
gradually exposed:-

<Sometimes an object was partly included
in several layers of <lower> linen bandages>

(E to H)
High up upon the breast, immediately below the collarette
of the Mask, and superimposed upon one another, E. were
~~vulture~~ the following: amuletic ornaments. ~~Each~~? of

which had been doubled up - its segments one upon the other -
the inlay of which was much deteriorated and partly fallen
