i. — 1. A quartzite sandstone seated figure of Sen-Mut, 

 scribe and architect who flourished at Thebes 

 under the reign of Hatshepsut, Queen of Egypt, 

 about B.C. 1550. Very fine work, and a fine 

 example of the best class of commemorative 

 statues. Sen-Mut was the builder of the temple 

 " Tcheser-Tcheseru " (i.e., " Most Holy "), at Der 

 al-Bahari. From Thebes. 



2. A hard brown stone figure of Pes-shu-per, an official 



of very high rank, who fiourished at Thebes under 

 the reign of one of the Queens Amenartas, about 

 B.C. 630. He was employed in carrying out the 

 restorations of temples at Thebes, and was a temple 

 functionary of great importance. This figure is 

 valuable artistically because of its archai'stic 

 characteristics. From Thebes. 



3. A painted limestone stele of Tuu, an officer of very 



high rank, who flourished in the reign of 

 Thothmes IV., King of Egypt, about B.C. 1500. 

 The relief work is very delicate. This is a good 

 example of a rare class of sepulchral monument, 

 and the period to which it belongs, which is 

 indicated by the royal name on it, adds to its 

 importance. From Thebes. XVIIIth dynasty.
