A diverse collection of modern Egyptian-themed decorative items and tourist souvenirs. The lot includes several paintings on layered papyrus strips, featuring a reproduction of the sky goddess Nut, a processional scene with various deities, and a framed portrait of the Bust of Nefertiti. Sculptural elements consist of a polychrome enamelled metal figurine of the winged goddess Isis or Maat in a kneeling pose, a carved stone pharaoh head with a nemes headdress, and a falcon-headed Horus deity carving. A cast metal figurine of a prone animal displays notable green oxidation. The collection further includes two model river boats: one a detailed polychrome metal funerary bark with a green-canopied pavilion and rowing figures, the other a glazed white porcelain vessel with ram-head terminals. Additional items include polished Egyptian alabaster carvings, a small conical vessel, an ornate pierced metal dish with a central pharaonic medallion, and a flared ceramic cup decorated with ancient Egyptian musicians. Visible markings include a small adhesive label marked S916M on the Nefertiti frame and a stylised M. Aly signature on the larger papyrus sheets.
