TAA i.2.4.6

Along the south side of the room, extending from the East to the West

walls, stand se/<a> large number of black shrine-like chests, all

closed and sealed save one, whose open doors, fallen apart from

age, reveal statuettes of the King, swathed in linen, holding

peculiar insignia and standing upon the backs of black leopards.

Ones imagination falters at the thought of what the other chests

may contain.

Placed on the top of the black chests are a lot of model

boats equiped^sic with highly coloured thrones, benches/<cenotaphs> and kiosks; and

in front of the chests, in the centre <resting upon a wooden model granary full of grain>, another and more elaborate

funeral barque <with its rigging and furled sails complete.>

Parallel with Anubis and the Cow, on the north side Northern

side/<centre> of the Chamber, is a row five of beautiful caskets of ivory, 

wood and gesso-gilt;/<:> and one/<one of them>, a simple plain white box, whose

vaulted lid I raised when we first entered the Room, containing/<s> a

gorgeous carved ivory fan of Ostrich feathers, preserved to all

appearances as when it left the maker's hand.

These, like the many other objects in the innermost recess (to be 

 described forthwith), in fortunate contrast to those that were in the

Antechamber and those that are still in the Annexe, they

remain in position exactly as they were placed at the time of

burial. Unquestionably the thieves must have entered this

litte/<i>e Room, but they, in their predatory quest, cannot have

done more than open some of the caskets described. m Those

thieves seemed to have been cognizant of the contents of the boxes,

for apparently only those which <had> contained objects of intrinsic value

have been disturbed (:/<;>) the a/<A> few gold beads dropped and caught in

the folds of the linen cloth covering of Anubis, <and here and there an overturned object,> are evidence of their a

<Their> hurried predatory quest visit.  plundering visit search. visit.
