Notes

Five sheaths originally registered as HUMFA_29-3-110; now in collection of Egyptian Museum, Cairo (EMC_JE_54112, EMC_JE_54116, EMC_JE_54124, EMC_JE_54125, and EMC_JE_54127). Objects EMC_JE_54099 through EMC_JE_54128 are misnumbered in photograph on JE page, thus EMC_JE_54112 is labeled "54103," EMC_JE_54116 = "-07," EMC_JE_54124 = "-15," EMC_JE_54125 = "-16," and EMC_JE_54127 = "-18." Photo description for MFAB_B6777_NS lists HUMFA_29-3-110 as "seven sheaths;" however, object register for that number only lists five sheaths, and probably does not include the last two objects in that photograph (EMC_JE_54097 and EMC_JE_54106).
