THE EGYPTIAN SUDAN gods, or men in the attire of gods, pouring out libations. 8. The tomb, the Persea tree, &c. (see above, p. 384.) 9.

On the south wall, at the west end, is a relief wherein the queen is seen seated on the lion-throne, by the side of which kneel captives, with their necks tied together. Near her face are two empty cartouches ; in her right hand she holds the sceptres 1 and L and in her left the whip, i\ , and a palm branch, some of the leaves of which terminate in symbols of " life." Behind her is seated her consort, and Isis, who is pouring out libations, guards both with her wings. The queen's garment has fringes, and ropes and tassels, and she wears several deep, elaborately ornamented armlets ; her consort wears a figure of the hawk of Horus on his breast. The reliefs sculptured on this wall are less elaborate, and less well preserved than those on the opposite wall.

Here are represented a very elaborate table of offerings, the Hall of Osiris and the Judgment Scene, and numerous figures of gods making offerings and pouring out libations on behalf of the queen, who appears twice. In one register she stands in adoration before a sphinx, and in another she leads four bulls for sacrifice. We may note that her consort is also seen leading four bulls for sacrifice. Nearly one half of the space devoted to the representation of funeral ceremonies on this wall is occupied by rows of men and women, who bear palm branches in their hands." The reliefs on the last wall of the chapel, i.e., above and on each side of the door, are not very interesting ; they refer chiefly to the making of offerings and the pouring out of libations by priests, gods, &c.

- This wall was presented to the British Museum by the SudAn Government in 1905, and it has been built up in the last bay at the south end of the Southern Egyptian Gallery, on the west side.
