Description: | The museum holds 11 ancient Egyptian objects which are part of the Archaeology collection, counting out some forgeries. The museum once held some 75 Egyptian items, including jewellery and funerary items. Most or all of this was loaned by Captain C. Lucas to the Museum Society in 1946 and eventually donated. Most of this was stolen or lost somewhere in the years 1974-1979. Lucas had bought the items in London in the 1920Ã's and 30Ã's. Classes of objects represented in the collection include: canopic jars; coffin (fragment); faience figures; jewellery; animal remains (mummy); pottery; shabtis; stone figure (head, prob. a fake). | Subjects: | Ancient civilizations Antiquities Antiquity Egyptology Archaeological objects | Source: | Cornucopia - Discovering UK Collections | Address: | Causeway House
