[G 2320 = G 5280 serdab (continued)]
The rubbish described yesterday descends to and covers the whole floor of serdab. Along back wall (west) facing east (street), three statues (1, 2, 6).
1 = standing three-quarters size limestone statue [12-10-2], nose and mouth damaged, skirt beautifully marked. [ILLUSTRATION].
2 = pair statue [12-10-3], [GLYPHS] [Pehenptah] and his mother [GLYPHS] [Amendjefaes], heads gone.
6 = basis of seated pair statue [triad 12-10-4], smashed to a rough core.
In the debris, counting 4 and 5, there were three heads - two male and one female belonging to 6, and a fourth double statuette. There was also a fragment of a basis [12-10-5] with toes of two feet, of hard black stone (granite or opaque diorite). This was probably thrown in through the window.
The name [GLYPHS] [Pehenptah] is written on the southern offering niche of the chapel.
