Authentic
25th Dynasty canopic jar and lid. This
canopic jar is one of at least two complete sets. While
it is accurately XXVth Dynasty in style and accurate as

consistency of decoration over the sets suggests they were
cast from the same mold.

Small
wooden statue of the Concubine of the Dead. A
small wooden statuette of a type commonly called the Concubine

of Osiris is intriguing If not a fake, it represents the
non-standars style of a provincial workman. The figure holds
a board with hieroglyphs on his lap. The position of the
statuette in this case makes reading the text at present
