|---|---|---|---|---|---|
 | 7959 | (none) | 1928,1009.64 | (none) | Beads of gold and carnelian. Long bugles: 8 gold, 4 carnelian. With them were strung other beads; v. tomb notes. |
| 7962 | (none) | (none) | (none) | Beads of lapis, carnelian and gold, and one agate. Double conoids of different sizes, and 2 large gold-plated ball beads. 34 gold beads in all. There was evidence that these formed a separate string, stone and metal beads strung alternately. |
| 7963 | (none) | 1928,1009.103 | (none) | Beads. Mostly small ball beads of gold (thin leaf over copper), lapis, and a few carnelian (some rings). Apparently forming a single necklace, or two of the same pattern; one gold bead to every 1 or 2 stone according to size. Most of the gold beads were destroyed through the decay and swelling of the copper cores. One string containing the best gold beads made up for exhibition. |
| 7976 | (none) | 1928,1009.119 | (none) | Ball bead of black steatite. |
| 799 | (none) | (none) | (none) | Beads. of (crossed out word) carnelian and amethyst, with lunar pendant of agate. Restrung approximately in original order. Carnelian, 58; amethyst, 17; 1 pebble; 1 lapis paste; 1 agate pendant. |

[A] A circular plaque diam 009, part of the edge broken away; in center, raised electrum boss surrounded by six silver bosses; round them a border of two double raised concentric bands with fine radial lines between; folded over this and sticking to it when found was a second piece of silver with copper backing apparently broken off from where the edge of the circle is missing; the shape of the whole object would look like an elaborate buckle thus [drawing]. [B] A copper pin 0075 long was corroded on the back [C] (as were many beads) but need not belong to it. The three are cataloged under the same number. |
