Reference to "a girdle of intricate design", but there is nothing in box 267 described as such. Carter may have confused this with an object from another box, 269.o. This is also described as a girdle, see page 21, which is described on the object cards as a "bead-work ornament resembling stole".
The contents of box 267 are described as "originally tied up in a piece of linen and sealed". These objects were not assigned a separate number, but are noted on the first object card for box 267.
Carter refers to "? a robe" in box 269. There is nothing listed as such in the box's contents. Carter may have mistaken one this "robe" for of the linen shawls (269.c.(1); 269.c.(2); 269.c.(3)).

Transported to the Lab. Casket N^o 267. where we examined its

contents and took some preliminary photographic records.

(267)

This/<e> ivory and ebony veneered Casket had been <without doubt> rummaged

by thieves, and in all probability its more valuable contents

removed, yet it still contained more than fifteen pieces of

magnificent gold inlaid pectorals and a girdle of intricate design,

which had originally been tied up in a piece of linen and

sealed.

Lucas commenced upon the Jewellery box 267.

Removed the Cartouche-shaped box N^o 269, from the Store Room

it contains like N^o 267 a lot of jewellery and ? a robe.
