Necklace. Of long drop-shaped beads made of gold and three kinds of coloured stones—cornelian, lapis lazuli, and matrix of emerald. They were strung in the ancient colour order, viz. red, blue, yellow, and green—cornelian for the red, lapis lazuli for the blue, gold for the yellow, and matrix of emerald for the green. Some of the beads had tiny floral tops, which, when combined, formed a lotus column, or perhaps a flower; but by no means did all of them have this additional piece, as was proved by some of the beads still attached by their original threads. Unfortunately this necklace, of exquisite quality, cannot be restrung, as all the wax cores of the gold beads (the gold being only a thin outer covering) has amalgamated, and the holes are completely choked. At present, in their tender state of preservation, to re-bore them would endanger their being split, as some already are.
Amuletic necklace. This second necklace is of quite a different type, very small, and of all kinds of beads and amulets. The order[32] seems to have been alternate groups of barrel garnet beads, divided by minute gold beads, and between them amulets in gold, cornelian, glazed steatite, and faience. There are also tiny cornelian and glaze beads among them. The amulets that occur are the eye, hand, rope-knot, crouching lions, crocodiles, flies, and other strange forms difficult to recognize. The position of these amulets, strung on the necklace, can only be a matter of conjecture.[33]
Shell necklace. Of this only a few pieces were found. They are small shells and ornamental vase-shaped beads, of lapis lazuli, matrix of emerald, and turquoise. Between each was a short cylindrical gold bead.[34]
The obsidian and gold necklace. ([Pl. LI]. 2) hardly requires description, the illustration showing all details. The beads are strung in the exact order in which they were found. The ‘Shen’ brooch ([Pl. LI]. 2) was not attached to it.
Pottery. The various types are all shown in [Pl. LII]. 2.
- A. Soft red pottery.
- B. Fine red pottery.
- C. Rough red pottery.
- D. Rough red pottery with rim coloured red.
- E. Fine red pottery with rim coloured red.
- F. Red pottery.

- I. Red pottery, coloured red.
Pit Tomb No. 27.
The contents of this tomb ([Pl. XXX]) were pillaged and almost entirely destroyed, the ants leaving not a fragment of the wood untouched. Among the débris of the original burials was an intrusive one of a child.[35] All that was of importance to record was: (1) A portion of an anthropoid coffin with Rîshi decoration, like the case found in Tomb 32 ([Pl. LIII]. 3), but of much larger dimensions and with the face gilt; down the front of this coffin was a vertical inscription, of which the following was visible:
