256, <4>Q. (Continued) (2)

 

REMARKS:

The forehead <or front> portion of the uraeus was covered with a thick mass of 

beeswax to hold it in position within the wrappings

Above the tail portion was the Nekhbet-insignia (4.R.) see photo 

attached.

Turquoise/<Carneleansic> and lapis lazuli glass alternate

lapis lazuli glass

1. inlaid with carneleansic (quartz)

2. inlaid with fibrous calcite coloured underneath to imitate 

carneleansic. The calcite was completely disintegrated by fatty 

acids - evidently the calcite was a substitute for carneleansic

turquoise glass (decayed).
