Anyone who knows anything about the contributions of William Matthew Flinders Petrie to the world of Egyptology and archaeology will enjoy the Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology at the University College, London. I certainly did. Here are some photos I took of various works that struck my fancy during my visits.
Group of painted plaster heads once part of coffins.
Predynastic pots (yes, that the picture I picked for my site banner).
The interior of an exhibition case.
Very cute Roman pot with smiling face.
Stela of Khety, from Abydos (detail)
Group of squat jars with lug handles with painted decorations.
Linen tunics from a tomb at Deshasheh
Blue Amarna ware.
Lots and lots of pots discovered by Petrie.
