620-(121) LID OF BOX (PAINTED)

POSITION:    
Found among rubbish on floor of chamber.

DIMENSIONS:  
24.7 x 20.7 x 1.1 cents.

DESCRIPTION: 
A lid of a box, gilt, and elaborately painted. The design on
panels comprises collarettes and ear-rings, with bunch of ducks
(pintail) and flowers in centre. The box to which this lid
belongs has not been found among the funerary furniture of the
tomb, and the conclusions are that the plunderers took it to
carry away their plunder. From the designs upon the lid, it is
possible that the box contained the King's collarettes and ear-rings, 
of which we found examples in the Antechamber and in the
innermost treasury.

The condition of the painting is bad & much darkened from oil
having been spilt upon it, (?) during the second robbery for the
unguents and oils contained in the alabaster vessels that were
stored in this chamber (the Annexe).
