The collection includes/understands primarily works evoking the funerary beliefs of the former Egyptians, with in particular the sarcophagus and the mummy of Nesyamon, the sarcophagus of Tjesisetperet, two masks of Momie of time greco-Roman, several fragments of sarcophagi, a small collection of Ouchebti S and amulets like four vases canopes.
