A QUEEN'S GOLDEN CHAIR.

RECONSTRUCTED ART OF THE PYRAMID AGE.

CAIRO.

Dr. Reisner reports that Queen Hetephere's carrying chair was de livered to the Cairo Museum on April 5th after two years of careful work had been put in on it

The chair is unique. It is cased in patterned gold and inlaid with solid gold hieroglyphics. Its ex. quisite beauty throws a flood of light on the artistic sense of Egyp tian craftsmen of the Pyramid Age.

The chair was made 5,000 years ago by order of King Cheops for his mother, then the greatest lady in Egypt. The wood of the chair as found in the Queen's secret tomb was entirely decayed or shrunk to ene-sixth its original volume and could therefore not be used to sup port the gold casting.

The four pieces of shrunken wood had the joints of tenons and mor- tises in perfect preservation, and from these indications the wooden parts were reconstructed in new wood exactly like those of the original chair. The gold, cases and then gold hieroglyphics were mounted in the new wooden case.

The arrangement was for the Queen to sit on a cushion on the floor of the chair with her knees up and her arms resting on the arma The chair was then carried shoulder-high by four men.
