289 BLACK SHRINE-LIKE CHEST

POSITION: Stood back to south wall upon east end of box 288, facing north.

For description etc. see No. 282.

The doors were found open; the cord & seals missing, but there was sufficient evidence to show that it had been sealed and that in all probability device 275 was used (though this is only conjectural).

For contents see 289 a, b, & c.
