Nov. 12. 1925.

The same gentlemen were present today - with exception
{of} the Chief Inspector of the district for reasons best known to himself.

The proceedings recommenced 8.15 am by M^r Burton taking
further records - duplicating yesterday afternoon's photographs -
as we had decided to reverse the position of the Coffin on account
of the light.

Further layers of decayed wrappings were carefully removed
from the lower part of the mummy which revealed the following
named objects: - /

(U.)
A gold inlaid circlet, lying over the umbilicus.

(V)
A similar gold circlet, above the right knee.

(W.)
" " " " " " left " .

(X)
A massive bracelet of gold and carnelian, on the right
forearm near the elbow ./<(>this will be referred to again
in later stage with a group of similar objects).

(Y)
Mingled with the two circlets V and W. were parts of necklace
composed of faience and gold beads.

At this stage photographic records were again taken,
and various objects already mentioned were removed.

(Z)
A large hawk (?) plaque, comprising numerous sections
of finely inlaid gold-work, connected by small beadwork
between the separate sections, and acting like hinges.
This was lying over the chest apparently just below the neck,
and was covered with a plain sheet of papyrus. As
both the incrustation and the beadwork ~~was in~~ were in
bad condition they {were} coated with melted paraffin wax to
consolidate them. /

(AA)
Lying over the front of the thighs was a collarette
formed of similar workmanships and segments as group
(I). This being also in fragile condition it was similarly
treated with wax.
