A group of statues of the protective goddesses that were found in the tomb of king Amenhotep II were responsible for protecting the body of the king in his afterlife journey. They are "Wadjet" depicted as a cobra, "Nekhbet" the vulture, "Meretseger" in the form of a winged cobra, and the cows "Mehet-Weret" and "Hathor". These goddesses are among the earliest known to have been revered in ancient Egypt.

Pataikos was a lesser-known god worshipped since the Old Kingdom. He gained popularity at the end of the New Kingdom and was especially popular during the last millennium. Pataikos usually appeared with another dwarf god Bes and was sometimes depicted surrounded by snakes and crocodiles. Pataikos was linked to Ptah, the patron deity of artisans. Most likely he was associated with blacksmiths or metal workers.
Representations of Pataikos appear on amulets worn around the neck. The god is usually depicted with a bald head.

Maiherpri was noble of Nubian origin. He probably lived during the rule of Thutmose IV. Amongst his titles were Child of the Nursery and fan-bearer on the right side of the king.
Maiherpri was placed in two anthropoid coffins and an outer wooden shrine of rectangular form. All three are painted black with gilded decorations.
A third anthropoid coffin was found next to this coffin ensemble with its lid placed next to the box. It seems that the 'extra' coffin was intended as the innermost one, but was too big to fit into the set and was, therefore, left unused next to it.

Princess Neferwptah, Neferuptah or Ptahneferu (“Beauty of Ptah”) was the daughter of king Amenemhat III of the 12th dynasty. A burial for her was prepared in the tomb of her father at Hawara. However, she was not buried there, but in a small pyramid at Hawara. Her tomb was found intact in 1956 and still contained her jewellery, a granite sarcophagus, three silver vases and other objects. Objects belonging to her include a sphinx of black granite and the fragment of a statue found on Elephantine.
Neferuptah is one of the first royal women whose name was written inside a cartouche. Although she never had the title 'king's wife', she must have had a special status; it is possible she was regarded as a future ruler.
Her titles included a member of the elite, great of favour, great of praise and beloved king's daughter of his body.
The elements of Jewellery which were found and could be restored most probably to their original state consisted of :
1.-a necklace of gold, carnelian and beads
2.-a broad collar
3.-a pair of bracelets and a pair of anklets
4.-a girdle of disc beads with a hawk-pendant
5.-A funerary apron of faience and blue frit beads

Pen-Menkh was a contemporary of Queen Cleopatra VII and the Roman conquest of Egypt. As one of the high officials, he held the position of the Mayor of Dendera, the capital of the 6th Nome of Upper Egypt, and also he was the royal deputy and priest of Hathor and Horus. This statue is a unique example of the mixing between ancient Egyptian art with its well-established traditions and the Hellenistic one.

Isis' face is framed by a heavy, braided wig held by an elaborate multicoloured band decorated with geometric and floral motifs. Lotus blossoms, open and in the bud, are represented in low relief on the forehead of the figure. The lotus flower was a symbol of rebirth.
The eyes are narrow while the mouth and the face itself are treated simply. The ears are not shown but are marked by the presence of large earrings consisting of a ring and a hemisphere of bone or ivory.

On February 17, 1923, Howard Carter demolished the bricked up door of the funeral chamber. The room was almost completely filled with a massive shrine which turned out to be only the outer example of a total of four which lay inside one another and protected the sarcophaguses of the king. The shrines are made of heavy oak panels lined with gold leaf on plaster.
The external panels of the first shrine are inlaid with blue faience and bear alternate pairs of djed pillars and Isis knots (tit signs), the emblems associated with Osiris and Isis.
There are wooden perpendicular pall struts between the first and second shrines.

Faustina I the elder was born circa 100 AD and died in 140 AD. She was the wife of the Roman emperor Antoninus Pius, one of the Five Good Emperors. This sestertius was part of a third issue of coinage in her honour after her death and is likely to have been minted at some time between the end of the second issue (141 AD) and the end of Antonius Pius's reign as Roman Emperor, most likely toward the end of that reign. A more precise dating is not currently known. The coinage bears the legend DIVA FAVSTINA, not DIVA AVGVSTA, as the title of Augusta had passed onto her daugher, Faustina II the Younger.
Ceres was the Roman goddess of agriculture. She features prominently on coins of Faustina.
The bottom of this anthropomorphic coffin, a so-called "yellow coffin" belonged to Nesikhonsu, a singer of Amun-Ra and the mother goddess Mut in Karnak.
The inside of the coffin is intricately decorated, featuring among other things the picture of the goddess Imentet, the personification of the west.

The position of the divine God's wife of Amun was one of the most important priestly positions in the New Kingdom, which was limited to the women of the royal house only, as they wore royal crowns and wrote their names in cartouches and performed temple rituals and offering sacrifices.
The crown and the distinctive scepter in this statue indicate that it belongs to one of the divine god's wives in the Late Period.

The gharial (Gavialis gangeticus), sometimes called the Indian gavial or gavial, is one of two surviving members of the family Gavialidae, a long-established group of crocodile-like reptiles with long, narrow jaws. Gharials once thrived in all the major river systems of the Indian subcontinent, spanning the rivers of its northern part from the Indus in Pakistan across the Gangetic floodplain to the Irrawaddy in Myanmar. Today their distribution is limited to only 2% of their former range. They are extinct in Pakistan's Indus River, in the Brahmaputra of Bhutan and Bangladesh and in the Irrawaddy River in Myanmar.
Isis was the wife of a craftsman from Deir el-Medina called Kabekhnet and the daughter-in-law of Sennedjem. This is the second coffin in which the mummy of Isis was enclosed. She also had a mummiform external coffin, as well as a pectoral placed directly over the bandages of her mummy. This pectoral was identical to the cover of the internal coffin and provided further protection against damage to the body.
On the cover, Isis is depicted richly dressed and as if she were still alive.
