THE LUXOR TOMB
A CHARIOT RECOVERED London, February 5. A Luxor correspondent states that the spectators were thrilled at the withdrawal into brilliant sunshine of a chariot from the tomb of Tutankhamen. The body is made of wood, covered inside and outside with embossed gold and decorated with golden rosettes and bands. It is inlaid with semi-precious stones or coloured glass. The centre panel bears cartouches of Tutankhamen, and round the inside front edge, projecting inwards, is an open-work frieze of wood with cutout figures, presumably representing Tutankhamen’s prisoners of war, apparently Asiatics. A minor part of the vehicle is decaved, but not beyond re-pair.-—Aus.-N.Z Cable Assn.
