Room 4

Context Title: Room 4     
Context Name (Publication): Room 41     
Context Description: Inner Sanctuary1     
Context Description: There was no niche or statue-base, but in Room 4 was found a steatite ram's head U.16427, PI. 59 a, which was probably from a ceremonial staff; on the other hand, in the back wall of Room 4 at a point 0.65 m. from either corner the burnt bricks rose two courses higher than at the sides, and it is possible that originally there had been a central niche in the mud-brick wall, starting at 0.55 m. above floor level, which at a later date had been blocked with a filling of burnt bricks; but this could not be proved.2
