Please note:
Will require mechanical lifting on site in all instancesFollowing the discovery of Tutankhamun in 1922, interest in archaeological
artefacts and the history of Egypt reached fever pitch back in Great

piece of Egypt of their own. In the absence of actual artefacts, Eleanor
Coade’s famous factory manufactured cast stone replicas and stylistic
designs to meet demand.
