'Signet ring of fine gold weighing nearly 3 sovereigns
bearing the name of Shufu the (Suphis) of the Greeks
This remarkable piece of antiquity is in the highest state
preservation
andsaid to have been found at Gezehin a tomb near
thatto the excavation of Col CampbellThe work
inThe style of the hieroglyphics is perfectly that of those
sculptorshieroglyphicsof the tombs about thegreat pyramid all the details are eminently executed
The heaven is engraved with
minutestars; The Fox or Jackall hassignificant lines within its con[t]our; The hatchets have
their handles bound with thongs as usual in the sculptures; The volumes have the
string that binds them
differentlyhanging below theroll differently placed from any example in sculptured or
painted hierogs in the tombs; The determinative for country
is studded with dots representing the sand of the mountainous
margins of the
sidevalley of Egypt The sign [F35] has thetongue and semilunar mark of the longer examples as also
the vase in the shape of the heart. The Name is surmounted
by the
usualglobe and feathers decorated in the usual way exceptthat the lines are more horizontal than in the sculptured examples,
and the ring of The cartouch is engraved with lines representing
a rope
ofofwhich decorationI know noof the line inclosingthe hieroglyphics of a royal name I know of no example but
this; the [Aa1] in the name is placed as in the tombs not in
the
centreas of the cartouch; the chickens have their unfledgedwings The serastes its horns to be seen only with the magnifying
glass
Ofthe variationsinfrom the usual made of representinga volume and the inclosure of Royal names are circumstances
favorable to the genuineness of this remarkable piece of antiquity
for when taken into consideration with the style
of the workwhichis infinitely more difficult to imitate than

Notes on the wooden sarcophagus and two coffins of Ir, Dyn. XXVI, from Thebes, formerly in H. Salt, J. Lee and Lord Amherst collections and at Sotheby's in 1921, current location not known (TopBib i2.835):
'Harwell House October 21 1850
The great Sarcophagus in the Chapel
The GoddessNeith NNeith [X1*W24:N1] who is depicted in
full length on the inside of the upper half of the
third coffin is compounded of the hieroglyphic [V39]
in the same manner as the god [Q1\:D4\:A40], likewise depicted
full length, is corresponded of the hieroglyphic [R11].In Sarcophagi from the necropolis of Thebes it is
usual to find the same Goddess in the likeness of a beautiful
woman,usually, with her arms streached over the deceased
as the heavens streachedover the earth. That she represents
the heavens the determinative of her name [N1] is a
voucher, and her figure [C199] in this position over astronomi
cal signs. But if other proof were wanting there is a
stone sarcophagus in the British Museum where she
is sculptured streached out, as the heavens over the
earth, and giving birth to the Planets. In the lower half
of Sarcophagi from Thebes it is usual to find an other
Goddess female figure and not the figure of aman or oneman or god in the
likeness of a man or compounded of the [R11] as in the Hartwell
Coffin; and this goddess [X1\:H8-Q1] is the goddess of the earth. as might be naturally suppose(?)ThisfigureShe extends her arms up each side of the coffin as if
embracing the deceased or receiving the deceased into her bosomThat the stone Sacrophagus here quoted came from Thebes
I my self can assert being present where the officers of the
Luxor brought it out of the pitWhence then is the great Sarcophagus in the Chapel
of Hartwell house? The answer is,most probably fromLower Egypt. Most probably from the great necropolis
of Lower Egypt there namely theNecropolisdesert of Sakkara of Memphis. First
because Pthahofto whom(underlined) the sign R11 is peculiar(underlined) had a celebrated
Temple at in the city of Memphis and secondly because the hierogly
phics are of the form or style of writing peculiar to
this region of Egypt and thirdly because the form of the outer
case is of theancientform [Q6] most usual from in this nearby(?)
the most ancient times to the most recent in that
district of Egypt (See ancient inscription in the same
collection)'

Notes (continuation) on the wooden sarcophagus and two coffins of Ir, Dyn. XXVI, from Thebes, formerly in Salt and Amherst collections, current location not known (TopBib i2.835):
'The [V39] hieroglyphic represents the fastening of the
belt worn by the Gods and Kings round the waist
The [R11] hieroglyphic in the upper part of the
staff carried by the Divinity Pthath only
The age of the Sarcophagus is apparently
discoveredsettled by Mr Sharpe's discovery *namely
after thethe time of the Persianrule with which time the style of the hieroglyphics
agree
Mr Sharpe also remarks the [X1\:X1-Q1] for the
more ancient forms [X1\:H8-Q1]
X See Mr Sharpes notes
The drawing of the heads of the different figures
on all three of the Cases show that they were
all three
decorated bythe work of the same artist in allof them there is a remarkable protrusion of the
lips. This remark does not apply to the sculptured
heads on the 2d and 3d case and therefore thus the
Sculptor and painter were not the same person
as there is abundant proof I Bonomi to show in other
monts'
