When working at Abydos during the last months of 1908, E.R. Ayrton and W.L.S. Loat were informed about a cemetery being looted at nearby el-Mahâsna. They visited the site and identified it as a Predynastic cemetery, which they subsequently excavated in January 1909. As usual for the time, only the most important finds were described or illustrated in the excavation report. The objects themselves were distributed to a number of museums, amongst them the Egyptian collection of the Royal Museums for Art and History in Brussels. Fortunately, the contents of individual tombs seem to have been kept together during the distribution, and the Brussels museum received nearly all of the objects from Tombs H17 and H41. Tomb H41 was one of the richest in the cemetery, containing among other significant objects, a very interesting human figurine. The material from Tomb H17 includes a palette with lightly engraved decoration, which was unnoticed by the excavators. The inventories of the two tombs are discussed with particular attention given to their visual presentation. For this purpose, parts of the tombs are reconstructed in drawing, using the published photographs in combination with the actual objects in Brussels. The reconstruction of the figurine from Tomb H41 is of particular interest in the context of the recent discoveries in the settlement of el-Mahâsna.
