consisting of a winged beetle, two hawks' heads, 

 the four children of Horus, etc. Late period. 

 From Upper Egypt. 



42. A mummy, preserved with bitumen, covered with 



a very handsome gilded cartonnage case, 

 whereon, in hollow-work and relief, are figures 

 •of the gods, amulets, sandals, jackals, etc., of 

 the Grseco-Roman period. From Upper Egypt. 



43. Four painted cartonnage cases made to resemble 



the forms and faces of the dead bodies over 

 which they were placed. They are all made of 

 waste pieces of papyrus, and judging from the 

 style of the Greek writing which is found upon 

 them, cannot be older than the Ilnd century 

 of our era. Names of the people for whom they 

 were made appear in demotic, and mythological 

 and other scenes are painted upon them in a 

 manner which suggests that their true signifi- 

 cance was not known to those who copied them 

 on to the cases ; about A.D. 200-300. From 

 Upper Egypt. 



44. Mummy and cofl^in of a child. The cofiin is made 



in the form of Osiris, the god of the dead, and 

 the figure holds the emblems of sovereignty and 

 dominion which are characteristic of the god ; 

 about A.D. 200-300. From Upper Egypt.
