PREFACE.
Upon exhibiting this Collection, it may be necessary to state that
I do not profess to be a savan, or a decypherer of hieroglyphics, but merely
an amateur collector of such objects of antiquity as appeared to me illustrative of the religious and other customs of the ancient Egyptians, in whose
country I have passed the last twenty years of my life. It was necessary
to occupy my leisure hours, and I found it an agreeable pastime, to dive into
the tombs of the ancients and rescue from the hands of the many pilferers such
objects as appeared to me worthy of notice, and I think I may, without fear
of contradiction, assert that every article in this collection is of undoubted
antiquity. I have spared neither time nor expense in my efforts to obtain
the finest and most genuine objects of antiquity, and feel assured that they
will be appreciated.
As regards the Catalogue I have endeavoured, as far as the limits of
such a work will allow, to give a sufficient, although not a very enlarged description, of each article, and for more minute details must refer you to the
works of such savans as SIR GARDNER WILKINSON, S. POOLE, Esq., I. PERRING, Esq., - KENRICK, Esq., PROFESSOR LEPSIus, and M. E. PRISSE,
from all of which I have quoted when necessary.
Subjoined is ail Introduction by a gentleman of this city, who has
visited Egypt, and who is himself an author of great merit. He has rendered it useless for me to say more than that I am indebted to him and
many other Angerican travellers for the praise they have kindly bestowed
upon my exertions, and without whose advice I should never have ventured
to offer this Collection of Egyptian Antiquities to the patronage of the
American public.
H. ABBOTT.




INTRODUCTION,
This Museum of Egyptian Antiquities was collected by Dr. Abbott, during a residence of twenty years in Cairo, all which time his attention was constantly directed
tothe subject. The most distinguished Egyptian scholars, Sir Gardner Wilkinson, I.
Perring, Lepsius and Poole, have verified in this collection many of their speculations,
and the genuineness of the relics has, in their sanction, the highest possible authority.
Many of the objects were found in tombs opened in the presence of Dr. Abbott, and there
is probably no similar museum in the world more valuable to the Student, the Antiquarian, and the Divine. " There is nothing new under the Sun," said Solomon, and
here are many things that were old when he said it. It is here that the ocular and palpable evidence of the authenticity of the Bible is presented in the most interesting form.
We are made, as it were, contemporary with Abraham, with the Israelites in Egypt,
with Shishak, with Zerah, by witnessing specimens of rare arts made in their times, and
with which they were familiar. Here, too, we must unlearn some of our pride, and be
struck with new astonishment at the civilization of a people, whose historical records
have mostly perished. The biblical student will naturally turn in this Collection, to
the stone head of the Pharaoh of Exodus, the Thothmes III., of Egyptian history, which
preserves the character of the Egyptian type, as seen in the Statues of Aboo Simbel, and
in the face of the Sphynx,-and which scientific research is unable to refer to any of the
primeval races, so as to determine the probable origin of the Egyptians. He will also
see the iron helmet and breast-plate of scale armor bearing the cartouche, (corresponding
to our modern armorial bearings) of Shishak, nine hundred and seventy-one years before
Christ, who took Jerusalem from Rehoboam.-2 Chron. C.xI. Also a hawkheaded Vase, in
green earthenware, from the plain of Zoan, with the oval of Zerah the Ethiopian King,
seven hundred and forty-one years B. C.-2 Chron. c. xIv. Also the burned and unburned
bricks made without straw by the children of Israel in Egypt, and dating from the abovementioned Pharaoh. The Antiquarian will notice among a large Collection of jewelry,
the gold Necklace and Ear-rings bearing the name of Menes, the first Pharaoh of Egypt,
and the earliest King in history. The most learned scholars assign two thousand seven
hundred and seventy-one years B. c. as the date of these ornaments. The large gold
Signet-ring of Shoufou or Cheops, as High Priest and King; he was the builder of the
great Pyramid two thousand three hundred and fifty-two years B. C. Baked clay stamps
used by Terak, in the XXV Dynasty, seven hundred and fourteen years B.C., to stamp
the fresh Nile mud which was plastered over the locks of the granaries and the public
buildings. Beside these there is especial interest in the various cloths of those remote
periods-in the preserved fruits, and grains, threads, needles, and household implements of those who
" Walked about, how strange a story!
In Thebes' streets three thousand years ago."
The Mummy-case which was handed round at banquets to remind the guest~ of their
mortality,-the Stylus with which the Greeks wrote and the tablets upon which they
were used-the Painter's palette-the ramarkably fine specimens of Papyrus, upon
which the writing is still so legible-Glass, beautiful as the famous Venetian glass-the
various images, talismans and charms-the human Mummies and three ponderous Mummied bullocks, all make real to the observer the daily life and habits of a people which,
after centuries of supremacy, exists for him only in these relics.

taken. Dashour.

one with its horns crooked, there are also different bones, the largest
of which is the vertebra of the neck, which is of extraordinary size,
above the Bull's head may be seen on the right, a net of rope used
for the purpose of carrying anything between two persons, a stick

used to carry their food.

where, upon the site of an ancient Egyptian city, the Israelites were
permitted by Ptolemy Philomater, upon the application of their
High Priest, Oniius, to build a temple. The place then became the
rEsort of the Jews, and was called the City of Onion or OniiMetropolis, and was probably one of the five cities in the land of

Canaan." —Vide Isaiah  xIx, verse 184.

the canals or smaller branches of the
parent stream -which in those days,
X  )C       particularly in the Delta, abounded in
the papyrus plant. There is a bronze
nail at the top of the handle. This
remarkable instrument was found in a

iron, and more curved than the Beaumerang of the
New Hollanders.

helmet and breast-plate, are very rare and are the
only articles in iron or steel, of undoubted antiquity,
and are not to be found in any other collection.
The rarity of this metal is, however, to be attributed
rather to the rapid decomposition it undergoes when
exposed to damp, than to ignorance of its properties; for besides that it is recorded to have been
known to the antediluvians, (see GENESIS, CIV. V. 22,)
it is more universally abundant than any other metal;
and it would have been impossible to execute such
works as are found in both Egypt and Greece, without its aid.

678. Three fragments of Coloured Glass, on a card.
No. 1 represents a Star; No. 2 a Lotus. These pieces are particularly interesting, as examples of a curious manufacture. No. 3
more especially deserves attention, inasmuch as it explains the ingenious manner by which the ancients accomplished the work. Long
sticks of glass, of the desired color and form, were welded together,
side by side. This mass being well united, was then sawn through,
transversely, at regular intervals; thus producing a supply of perfectly similar patterns. The pieces thus obtained were afterwards
polished and inserted, like Mosaic work, to decorate various utensils. Thus, for example, were produced a series of stars of exactly
similar dimensions and form as No. 1, which were inserted side by
side, in a cavity, to represent the heavens; or the ornament No. 2,
representing the lotus, was thus reproduced with an exactness which
no other contrivance could guarantee. The piece No. 3 has evidently been sawn from such a stick of glass as above described, and
broken off. They were found in Sakkarah.

deceased accompanied by Anubis the Guardian of the Tombs, and the
Ibis-headed God, Thoth, who has been writing down the history of the
departed and has collected all his good deeds into a small bottle,
which is placed in a scale, while in the opposite scale may be se( n
the Goddess of Truth, sometimes only the Ostrich feather (the emlblem of truth) is used, weighing down the good deeds; this result
having been made known by the God Thoth to Osiris, he awards
such punishment as seems meet to him and his forty-two assistants,
and the soul of the sinner is sent into purgatory for so many thousand years, during which time he has certain labours to perform,
which may be seen in the smaller illustrations; in the last sketch,
the deceased is represented before Osiris awaiting his final judgment.
If he has performed all the tasks imposed upon him to the satisfaction of the judges, his soul is allowed to return again to his body,
otherwise he is sentenced to a lengthened residence in purgatory,
after which the soul is permitted to return to its original body, and
it is for this reason that the Egyptians were so very particular
about preserving and mummyfying the bodies of the dead.

eight lines of hieroglyphics, a prayer for the dead; it
was found on the breast of a mummy, at Sakkarah.

1048. An Eye in gold. It is sometimes called the eye of
Osiris, and at others used as the hieroglyphic of
Egypt. From Sakkarah.
1049. A large Ringin form of a Serpent. From Sakkarah.
1050. Two Ear-rings and a Necklace, found in a jar at
Demdera.
These ornaments are made of gold leaf, similar to that upon which
hieroglyphics are usually stamped. There are three pendants of
lapis-lazuli, and two beads of blue glass attached to the centre;
where is also an oval amethyst bead, capped at each end with gold.
But what is particularly curious is, that the name of Menes is stamped upon the ear-rings, and upon eight oval plates of the neck-lace.
These ovals have a dotted ornament around them. The circle around the ear-rings is plain, and is in the form of a cartouche.
At equal distances between these ovals are curiously entwined
devices, attached by a rude chain, formed of thin strips of flattened
gold. There are also three pendants attached; they are in form
of baskets, most beautifully executed, and will bear examination
through a magnifying glass.
1051. Signet Ring of Shoofoo, in gold.
This remarkable piece of antiquity is in the highest state of preservation, and was found at Ghizeh, in a tomb near that excavation
of Colonel Vise called Campbell's tomb. It is of fine gold, and
weighs nearly three sovereigns. The style of the hieroglyphics is
in perfect accordance with those in the tombs about the Great Pyramid, and the hieroglyphics within the oval is the name of that
Pharaoh of whom the pyramid was the tomb. The details are minutely
accurate, and beautifully executed. The heaven is engraved with
stars: the fox, or jackall, has significant lines within its contour:
the hatchets have their handles bound with thongs, as is usual in the
sculptures: the volumes have the string which binds them hanging
below the roll, differing in this respect to any example in sculptured
or painted hieroglyphics. The determinative for country is studded
with dots, representing the sand of the mountains at the margin of
the valley of Egypt. The instrument, as in the larger hieroglyphics, has the tongue and similunar mark of the sculptured examples;
as is the case also with the heart-shaped vase. The name is surmounted with the globe and feathers, decorated in the nsual manner;
and the ring of the cartouche is engraved with marks representing a
rope, never seen in the sculptures: and the only instance of a royal
name similarly encircled is a porcelain example in this collection,
enclosing the name of the father of Sesostris. (See No. 599.) The
o in the name is placed as in the examples sculptured in the tombs,
not in the axis of the cartouche. The chickens have their unfledged
wings; the Cerastes its horns, now only to be seen with the magni-,ying glass.
