Collection overview (Cornucopia)
Ancient Egyptian Collection
The museum holds 10 ancient Egyptian objects. Classes of objects represented in the collection include: amulets; faience figure; flints; jewellery (beads); metal figure; pottery; shabtis. Objects are known to have come from the following locations in Egypt (with the name of the excavators and year of excavation given): Ballas or Naqada (Petrie and Quibell, 1895). The cemeteries of Naqada and Ballas were excavated at the same time and it is not clear to which cemetery the objects from graves 1426 and ?1878 belong. Note also ‘a clay Osirian head, found in Rochester’; and ‘a bronze skillet found in a Roman grave at Cliffe which has Egyptian symbols as decoration’- see Archaeologia Cantiana 28 (1911), pp. lxxviii-lxxix, no. 46.
