Egypt: Painted Faeance Shabti by family repute from the tomb of Tutankhamun. The vendors great uncle, Mr George Bolam, was a professional photographer who moved to Cairo in 1910. A signed letter of provenance accompanies the Shabti that states Mr Bolam worked at the excavation of Tutankhamuns tomb and it was given to him, as a memento of its opening and he passed it onto his great nephew, the vendor. 4½ins.
