POSITION:    
Leaning in precarious position against (centre) W. wall of
chamber, where it had been thrown by the dynastic plunderers (see
photo No. 1144).

DIMENSIONS:  

DESCRIPTION:
Wooden kiosk upon sledge, of rough workmanship, covered with
black resin roof (lid) made of one piece of wood, knob on front
of roof (lid) and front of kiosk for cord and seal - only traces
of the cord and seal remain.

CONTENTS:    
20 wooden gesso-gilt shawabti-figures (see Nos. 512 A-E), and 98.

always in better condition (preservation) when with gilt figures
only. The gesso-gilt figures have suffered from infrequent
saturation.
