Been handed a few egyptian artifacts and they have been verified by Manchester Museum as authentic

Hello derekdan,

Welcome to TNet. Your photos appear quite out of focus to me. Are you speaking of the University of Manchester in Manchester, England?

King Farouk was much reviled for his excesses in life. View attachment 814722 Farouk of Egypt

Mr. Mansoor was an antiquities dealer who experienced considerable controversy on some of his artifacts: M.A. Mansoor Amarna Collection

It would be nice to be able to actually see these things you've been "handed," and learn the backstory... I believe the date for King Farouk's first wedding on your photo is 5 years off.

I was only given the pictures and I wrote over "1933" so i think the paper may have said "1938", but because of the blur i couldnt tell. I will be getting these items back shortly so clearer pictures could be taken.

Just wanting to identify what they are and what they are worth.

Thanks

Some of your pics are terrible. We might be able to help.
What type of camera are you using?
Look for a Macro setting for closeups. Often looks like a flower icon.
