and stone, and numerous examples of jewelry of the simpler vari- 
eties. 
Occupying the upper line on the wall are a number of good 
examples of the fronts of balcony windows from modern Cairo, 
and three specimens of mushraba colored glass screens. 
The alcove to this hall, connecting with the East Court, is 
occupied by important Egyptian exhibits. 
Case 30.— A set of excellent casts of ancient Egyptian 
sculptures, the originals of which are preserved in various trans- 
atlantic museums. 
Case 31. — Numerous mortuary objects, among which are to 
be especially noted the alabaster vases and canopic jars. 
Nos. 32 to 38. — The walls of the alcove are covered 
with interesting exhibits. On the east are bas-relief sculptures 
from the walls of tombs; on the north, at the sides of the door- 
way, are two excellent examples of sculptured doorways of tombs; 
on the west are casts of bas-relief sculptures above and fragment- 
ary tomb sculptures below. In the adjoining alcove and passage- 
way on the west are additional exhibits, including casts, sculptures 
and mortuary fabrics. Most notable, perhaps, is a perfectly pre- 
served papyrus displayed in a frame against a rotunda pier.
