The wood is badly decayed and the shrinkage would be more than normal, but this may have been the wooden cylinder on which the deben were set.

(10) is a flake of alabaster which fits a place on west side of coffin next to lid and about one-fourth from north end. The presence of this piece and the corner of the lid inside box 737, indicated that the first tomb of Hetepheres had been entered by thieves and that the thieves had opened the coffin. Otherwise it is improbable that these chips would have come out in the rubbish which was deposited in the southwest corner of G 7000 X (i.e. before the coffin). The burial in the alabaster coffin has probably been robbed.
