CENTRE OF ROOM: Wooden stretcher on which is a mummied crocodile. It was carried thus in procession by the priests, as the water colour below (copy of a fresco) shows. The stretcher rests on a wooden chest, also found in the shrine. BACK WALL: Wooden door of the outer gateway (_see_ North Garden). Greek inscription. Here are some photographs by which the temple can be reconstructed. 39 (right of the chest): an offering table to the god, ornate and unpleasing. He lies in a little tank. LEFT OF THE ENTRANCE DOOR: Relief of a priest adoring the god, who crawls upon lotus flowers. ROOM 10: ANCIENT EGYPT: SMALL EXHIBITS. IN THE ENTRANCE: Offering table, with basins for the libations. RIGHT WALL—_Case C_; Statuettes of gods, all named. The most interesting for the history of Alexandria are 3-25 Osiris, and 26-40 the bull Apis, with whom he was compounded to make Serapis. (p. 18). _Case D_: Mummies of a baby, of an eagle, of an ibis. _Case Aa—Shelf b_ (at the top): winged scarabs in blue enamel. _Shelf k_ (No. 1): statuette of Sekhet, goddess of the heat of the sun—she has the head of a lioness and holds a gold flower. _Shelf f_: Bast, the cat-god. No. 39 has a kitten between the paws. 51 gold earrings. _Shelf 1_ has more statues of Bast. 55 very good. LEFT WALL: _Case h_ “Canopic” vases of alabaster. Used to hold those parts of the dead that could not be embalmed. Each dedicated to a son of Horus. Amset held the stomach; Hapi the intestines; Douamoutef the lungs; Kebehsenouf the liver. For their connection with the town of Canopus, _see_ p. 176. _Case Bb_:—More statuettes—especially _shelf i_.—Harpocrates and Horus, and _shelf k_. Isis nursing Horus—the artistic origin for the Christian design of the Madonna and Child. (p. 69). There are some rattles and vases of the Isis cult. _Case L_: Little serving figures (Ushabti), which were put in the grave with the mummy to do the work for it in the underworld. Also round the wall of the room: six painted mummy cases. Down the middle: two big tables of scarabs, amulets, gold trinkets, etc. ROOM 11. GRECO-EGYPTIAN. Objects in which the Greek and Egyptian influences mingle. They are few in number, and not as interesting as one might expect. No living art was born from the union. RIGHT WALL: 18. Dedication to the Egyptian god Anubis with a Greek inscription. 20. Profile of a Ptolemy—rather charming. 33-40. Serpent worship—very repulsive. 40. is a curious mixture. The male snake has the basket of Serapis and the club of Hercules; the female, the disc of Isis and the sheaf of Ceres. 41. Bad painting, Greek style, of a girl with Egyptian gods round her. From Gabbari. END WALL—both sides: 43-53. Clumsy statues from the Fayoum, in which Greek influence appears.
