high, 1.7 cm. wide and 2 cm. deep still containing part of a tightly rolled papyrus. As early as the eighteenth dynasty there were deposited in the tombs wooden statuettes containing magi- cal papyri intended to aid the dead man in his journey in the other world.
This statuette is probably later than the twenty-first dynasty. (2) A statuette of Osiris, 62.7 cm. high, dating from the twentynsecond dynasty, probably served for the same purpose. (3) Another statuette of Osiris has a hollow in the
...base, probably to hold a small mummified animal. (4) A statuette of Bast and (5) an Osiris seated against an obelisk were also reliquaries. (6) Still another Osiris figure contained grasses wrapped in linen, perhaps intended to represent a mummified serpent. (7) A statuette of Bast, 43 cm. high, repre- sents the goddess seated with arms at her sides and hands near her knees.
This was made in two halves and: contained the mummy of a cat. It probably dates from the Ptolemaic period. (8) One of the best statuettes in the col- lection is that of a standing male figure, 37 cm.
