Not illustrated. 1903 Excerpt: ...a style which has hitherto been quite unsuspected, as preceding the more formal style of the Old Kingdom. 4 is half of a figure of a young boy, in the same natural style, of excellent modelling. 5 is part of the figure of a woman, with the hair in fine ringlets; the work is natural and delicate. 0 shows different work; simpler, and limited by the form of the material; the type of the man with a short pointed beard seems to belong to the prehistoric Libyan stock. 7 is a young boy with short, woolly hair, appearing negroid. 8 (three positions) is an infant boy with remarkably long flat head. 9, a young girl, is more like the late pre historic work in the fiat style of the face and body; a bead collar is shown on the neck. 10 is a good head of the natural style. 11, an uas sceptre, some pieces of the straight stem of which were also found. 12, a baboon, does not belong to this chamber, but was found at a lower level, 190. 13 is a fine head of one of the massive hunting dogs used in early times, wearing a collar. 14, the head of a boy. 15 is a young bear, with a short curly tail; the attitude and character of the animal are well given.
