Artefacts of Excavation

Material  fro the Egypt Exploration Society's work at Amarna was original presented to Huguenot University College in 1948 by Miss Emily Armistead who had many colleagues at this all-female teacher training school including a Miss Grace Robson. The School closed in 1950 and a Grace Robson passed the material to Wellington. It includes glass rods, faience moulds, pendants and amulets from Amarna, together with a single Predynastic pot (provenance uncertain), three rosettes from Tell el-Yahudiyeh, 36 shabtis, small bronze Osiris figurines, fragments of papyri and wooden combs.
