Egypt recovers two stolen artifacts
May 31, 2008 · Filed Under Ancient Egypt
A 26th-dynasty limestone relief that was chopped off the tomb wall of the 26th-Dynasty nobleman Mutirdis was successfully stopped by the Supreme Council of Antiquities (SCA) from going on auction in Bonham’s auction hall in London.
The second object is a 19th-Dynasty ushabti figure of a woman named Hener, stolen from a Saqqara storehouse and now at the Leiden Museum in Amsterdam.
