When discovered in Queen Hetepheres's tomb the wood bud almost entirely decayed or shrunk to one-sixth of ita original size. From certain pieces of shrunken wood, which are still preserved with their joints, mortices, and tenons, it was possible to recon- struct the entire woodwork of the chair with now wood on which the original gold casing and beirogly- phics were then mounted..
This reconstruction required 'nearly two years of careful work by the above members of the ex- pedition and Mr. W. A.
