(Nov 16 Continued)

(4H)

A Mût-vulture in chased sheet gold attached to neck

by means of cord

(4I)

Two similar objects possibly on same cord.

These objects (4F-4I) were on right side of throat & faced

north - (i.e. to left.)

(4J)

On the left side of throat a similar vulture to those already

describe{d}, attached by cord & facing south. - (i.e. to right).

(4.K.)

An uraeus of similar type attached on left side of neck

facing north, also attached by cord.

(4.L.)

On left side of throat a fifth vulture <of> chased sheet gold,

with head facing north - (all of which attached by cord).

Fallen under the neck towards left side were seven faience

round beads which may come from the cords of the above

amuletic figures of vultures and serpents. X <It is hoped that carefully^sic collaboration will clear this point.>

(4.M)

At a lower level to the above objects, tied around the

neck, at the level of the thyroid cartilage, a dar neck

band of four string of beads, which only half encircled

the neck, owing <perhaps> to the thickness of the wrappings. The

strings of this neck band (at end of beads) were in all

probability plaited together and tied at the back of the throat.

These objects recorded and removed, it was possible

after the use <applying> of hot knives, to withdraw the head from

its Mask. /

(4N)

Some of the outer bandages of the crown top of the head, -

remained adhering to the interior of the mask, thus

when it exposing a double rope-like 'lawaya' <and encircling the crown of the head.>, made of a

(?) fibrous material tightly bound with string

This <had> slipped down slightly during the

operation of withdrawing the head from mask. This peculiar

object has loops at the back for attachment and being

of very fragile nature it had was somewhat broken.
