POSITION:

Left arm, near elbow (fallen in debris). (See 256 WWW)

DIMENSIONS:

Max. L. of bird 4.1 cents.

Diam. of bracelet 5.2 cents.

DESCRIPTION:

A [ 𓂀 ] (MNT)-bird in carnelean^sic, supporting the solar-orb over rump;

and mounted upon a small gold bracelet having two lapis lazuli

and one (?) stone beads opposite the bird. The bracelet is made of two 

pieces <upon> swivelled together swivel so that they bend twist to open. 

The Ment-bird in carnelean^sic is an exquisite piece of workmanship, 

the details and districts of the feathers of the wings and tail being finely

engraved, likewise the beak and eye. It has a hole (loop-l/<f>orm)

at the back for attachment.

REMARKS:

It is/<was> found in the debris of decayed linen bandages near the left elbow, and 

as the bird seems to have been attached to its bracelet by means of thread 

it is probably the reason why it had fallen away; though I do not think it
