One of - the most interesting finds during •the last 'week in

the tomb of King Tutankhamen is a life-sized model of the King's head and bust without arms. It is in perfect preservation, -and the head, wearing a finely chiselled gilt crown, is a lifelike portrait. This, it appears, was used as a •mannikin -on which to fit the King's robes. It suggests to ladies of fashion an in- genious way of combining a still-prevalent -method of dressmaking with the additional advantage of immor- talizing their personal appearance. -Another important find is the parts of a movable canopy of gilded wood, -richly decorated in colours. It was constructed to take to pieces, and, except for one-section, 'was in-pieces when discovered. The Royal Chamber has yet to be entered.
