AND WORKS OF ART
Cairo, Apr. 30. FIRST treasures from the most
ancient tomb ever found in Egypt were displayed in the Cairo Museum of Antiquities to-day.
They include curious Bat discs of wood, ivory, bronze and stone, the use of which are un- known to archaeologists.
One of them is carved with a spirited hunting scene, showing hounds and gazelles, and re- sembling the best workmanship of the ancient Greeks.
The tomb where the dis- coveries were made lies north of the famous necropolis at Sakkara, 10 miles from Cairo.
IVORY ARROWS
Built of trick, about 170ft. long and 86ft. wide, it was the resting place of Hemala, Grand Vizler of King Den, or Udymu, fourth king of the First Dynasty, who lived about 3400 B.C.
