10479 (none) 1928,1010.159 (none) Plaster Cast Of a hole in the ground above the box in PG 800: the hole was vertical and showed traces of wood: the upper part had been cut away and only the lower part was cast. It seems to have been a wooden wand which was carved to represent a snake coiled around the staff.
1551B (none) (none) B15666 Mould. Fragment, waist downwards only. Yellow clay. Female figure, nude, with object at right hand.
16425 (none) (none) (none) Statue. White limestone; broken in half but complete. The eyes inlaid with lapis, brown-painted shell and steatite, the nose of plaster, yellow paint on top of head. Female figure, standing rigid, the hands clasped in front of the body; she wears a long garment with 7 pleated flounces reaching to the ground, the arms hiden by the second flounce with seems to be a short cape. Two long tresses of hair hang down in front over the shoulders, the rest of the hair hangs down behind in a heavy square-cut netting. A bandeau passes across the forehead and also it rises a flat sharp-edged disk marked by criss-cross lines. It is painted yellow & may represent the (early) gold ribbon headdress; in the top of it at the back are 3 holes in which must have been stuck hed ornaments after the fashion of the (early) comos. The ears are pierced for metal ear0ring. The nose (perhaps because the original had been broken off(?) was made separately; there was a deep slot to fasten it on; one half of the nose modeled in plaster (out in bad condition & mishappen) was found and has been provisionally attacked. The figure is extraordinarily ugly, and the workmanship is flaccid and mechanical.
