A hollow bronze statuette depicts a goddess, probably Aphrodite or Isis. The shy glance of the goddess agrees with the examples of the goddess Aphrodite in Syria. She rests her right hand on her abdomen; and wears a chiton with transparent sleeves. The artist marvelously created the transparent clothes that show the body. This statuette is evidence for the fusion of Egyptian elements with Greco-Roman elements.
A lamp with a round body and a conical base that diminishes in size to the point at which it is attached to the body. The body is decorated with three ornamental shapes that are attached by means of rivets. The shapes are those of frogs, to each of which a chain is attached.

This pectoral, of King Tutankhamun, is decorated in a complex way: the central part, which represents the name of the king, consists, in the middle, of a large lapis lazuli scarab. The scarab is provided with the wings of a falcon. The outer edges of the pectoral are decorated with two cobras that appear to be too large in comparison to the ankh signs, and the eyes of Horus, which are depicted very tightly under the name of the king.
A silver censer, the chains of which are missing. The censer is supported on a round base and the body is divided into lobed units, which are decorated with floral designs. The rim of the censer is adorned with an inscription in Arabic that says, "An eternal endowment and an everlasting gift for the Church of the Archangel Michael of the East. May God compensate the efforts of his servant in the Kingdom of Heaven."

A bronze statuette of the goddess Aphrodite; completely naked, as were all the statues of her that were carved by Greek sculptors. Her left hand rests on a tree trunk and her right hand is raised, with the latter she had apparently been carrying some object, most likely a lantern. The statuette and the tree trunk had been separated from the base, but have recently been put together.
