QUEEN’S GOLDEN CHAIR. CAIRO, April 12. Dr Reisner reports that Queen Hetcphere’s carrying chair \ras delivered to the Cairo Museum on April 5 after two years of careful work had been put in on it. The chair is unique. It is cased in patterned gold and inlaid with solid gold hieroglyphics. Its exquisite beauty throws a flood of light on the artistic senes of Egyptian craftsmen of the Pyramid Age. The chair was made 5,000 years ago by order of King Cheops for his mother, then the greatest lady in Egypt. The wood of the chair as found in the Queen’s secret tomb was entirely decayed or shrunk to one-sixth its original volume and could therefore not be used to support the gold casing. The four pieces of shrunken wood had the joints of tenons and mortises in perfect preservation, and from these, indications the wooden parts were reconstructed in new wood exactly like those of the original chair. The gold cases and gold hieroglyphics were then mounted in the new wooden base. The arrangement .was for the Queen to sit on a cushion on the floor of the chair with her knees up and her arms resting on the arms. The chair was then carried shoulder-high by four men.
