The Egyptian collections of the Dobrée Museum have their origins in the discoveries of the famous Nantes traveler and pioneer of Egyptology Frédéric Cailliaud (1787-1869) during his travels in Egypt and Nubia between 1815 and 1822. They were integrated into the collections of the Nantes Archaeology Museum from 1869 and were later completed by a deposit from the Louvre Museum in 1924. This collection catalog highlights their diversity as well as their preciousness. Philippe Mainterot highlights a panel of more than 300 works of the most representative both in their typology and in their context of production and just as much in that of their constitution. Coffins, animal mummies, shabtis, amulets and scarabs are thus presented with rigor and pedagogy throughout the pages of this book, allowing to read and understand a corpus important as much by its material dimension as by its historical interest.
