his left hand, and in his right a mace, and emblem of life. Behind is 
a symbolical figure, having on its head the standard of the king : above 
the head of the king soars a vulture, emblem of victory. The hiero¬ 
glyphics contain the names and titles of the king.

the valley of the Biban el-Molook, They represent an inferior 
divinity calied Pet-mut-f. 
8. Cast taken from the wall of the entrance passage of the tomb of 
Sethos II. in the Biban el-Molook. The monarch, wearing the tall 
plumes, ursei serpents, solar disk, and goats’ horns, and draped in a 
transparent garment with a royal apron, stands offering two vases of 
wine to some divinity, probably Ra, but the hand and the tarn or 
kukufa sceptre of the god are only visible. The hieroglyphics are 
names and titles of the king, and part of an address to the god. 
The above were casts, made in Egypt by Mr. Bonomi, under the 
direction of Mr. Hay, and coloured by the former gentleman after 
originals.
