TAA i.2.3.77

Nov. 13. 1925

M. Lacau & the three Inspectors were present today.

The first part of the morning was occupied by M^r. Burton

taking a series of photographic records of the exposed parts of the

King's body, both in general and in detail.

(UU.)

While clearing away debris from the left side of the body, among

this was found a small finely carved carnelian Sa³ bird, beside

the trochanter which in sequence of discovery took the letter (UU). /

The lower limbs and body having been thoroughly cleaned,

D^rs Derry and Saleh Bey proceeded to take as many measurement{s}

as it was possible at this stage, and on account of <its> fragile

condition the whole of the exposed parts were saturated with hot

paraffin-wax.

Following this the last portions of the wrappings were removed

from the left arm <left forearm> and hand exposing another important

group of bracelets and <as well as a group of> finger-rings. These were: -

(VV)

A group of eight finger rings, lying over the left wrist though

not attached. These finger-rings were of massive gold, black

resin, some having scarab bezels and others the prenomen and

nomen of the King - they will be described in detail later.

Upon the left forearm five bracelets: -

(WW)

Massive gold bracelet just below elbow.

(XX)

Elaborate bracelet of gold, amethyst and faience beads, around

forearm next to (WW). /

(YY)

Intricate scarab and uraeus bracelet beside (XX).

(ZZ)

Gold bracelet with inlaid sacred eye as centre piece, next

to (YY).

(AAA)

Bracelet consisting of carnelian uazet-eye near to the wrist.

Scale photos were then taken.
