 | 10059 | (none) | (none) | (none) | Copper Object Covered with small hollow studs The metal is very thin and was laid over a wooden base of which plentiful traces remained. The shape was difficult to determine, but the studs, etc., covered nearly the whole of one end of the annex though more plentiful on the side next to the coffin. It might have been a shield? |
| 10090 | (none) | (none) | (none) | Beads Large lentoids, 2 lapis, 1 silver, 2 bitumen(broken) NB the carnelian rings probably went between the large beads |
| 10308 | (none) | (none) | (none) | Shell Inlay Probably originally set on the butt end of the handle of the copper axe: U.10307. The inlay consists of 1 - hemispherical cap perforated through the middle, 2 rounded nail heads and leaf-shaped fragments [drawing] |

| 10367 | (none) | (none) | (none) | Cylinder Seal Shell. White. Inscribed. 2 heroes each grasping a rampant bull by the tail and forcing the head back by the horns. Each hero clothed in short (sheep-skin?) skirt coming down to the knees: shirt has tasselled ends. Each hero is bearded and the hair at the back of the head is done up into a short upturned curl. Seal has copper caps set in bitumen. Caps broken and decayed. Par t of subject obliterated. A - DEN-ZU-dim Ka-su-du - A-ENZU-dim, libationer: (suggested by Dr. Rarn): A- DEN-ZU-sim - son created by EN-ZU (analogy with A-anni-padda). |
| 10374A | (none) | (none) | (none) | [A-D] 2 Pairs of Cockle shells. Black and green paint. |
| 10390A | (none) | (none) | (none) | [A] Copper Pin. Rounded in section. Copper ball head on bitumen core. Adhering to the pin a [B] Cylinder Seal of shell. The stem of the pin is perforated and has a small copper ring attached to it. Originally the seal was probably suspended by a string attached to the ring on the copper pin; the string decayed and the seal became corroded onto the pin. Type V. Figs. obliterated: probably 2 heroes fighting 2 rampant beasts. The copper set in bitumen was probably really the cap of the seal; the cap fell off onto the pin which has an elongated knob head. |

| 10437B | (none) | (none) | B16753 | [A-B] Shell Carving 2 pieces found together; floral motive; on one (A) is a tiny lion. Use unknown. [drawing] 1:1 A [drawing] 1:1 B |

| 10442 | (none) | (none) | (none) | Mosaic in shell and lapis Part of the decoration of the big box, occupying the middle of the near side. The background is of lapis, the figures shell. All had fallen from their position and in all cases the face of the shell was so decayed that little of the design remains. Most of the design was figures, but there were also bits of purely decorative design. One part of each was sufficiently in situ to be waxed: the rest picked out in fragments. |
| 10447 | (none) | (none) | (none) | Shell Plaque. 3 figures, 2 men and a boy. Found in bad condition, design not visible: the background has now been filled in with black to show the figures. Found rather high up in the filling, about 1mm, above the other offerings, PG, and perhaps not really belonging to PG 800. [drawing 1:1] |
| 10465A | (none) | (none) | B17064 | [A-B] Silver Lions heads two with inlaid eyes Photo | |
| 10467 | (none) | (none) | (none) | Copper drill (?) Square in section, thickened to head which has been let into a wooden handle. |
| 10478A | (none) | (none) | (none) | Gaming-Board. With men and dice. [A] The board is of the usual shape with vertical borders of shell and red stone strips: round the edge a mosaic of minute tesserae in blue, red, and white. The squares were of the original wood which formed the body of the board, each square inlaid with 5 eyes of shell having red or blue centres, except for two which are squares of shell inlaid with a flower rosette having red and blue petals: the squares are divided by narrow ivory strips inlaid with red and blue dots. The wood has perished and has been replaced with plaster of paris. Under one end of the board were found the men in 2 piles: there are [C] 7 white and [B] 7 black, the latter of shell inlaid with 5 white spots, the former of shell engraved with animal scenes, the details and the background filled in with black. Under the other end of the board was [D] a set of six dice of white shell, solid triangles, having blue dots at 2 of the 4 points of each: scattered in the neighborhood was a [E] second set of lapis with gold points, of which only 4 were found. Found behind the chariot. |
