Late Period Egyptian Sarcophagus mask. The black Paint was almost gone and the remaining stucco disturbed the very fine wood carvings.

Shabti of King Sethi. Crack on the head was restored and retouched

You wont believe how many Kings shabtis I have restored in my life. This is real a lot of fun! First, they are from Kings Tombs. Second, so many famous archeologists and other people like Belzoni, Drouvetti, Henry Salt etc. had them in their own hands.

I work mostly for Archeologists and Museums and the money for it came from 3rd parties who sponsor it. This 3rd parties has no longer money to spent because their business etc. is going down as well!

So profitable businesses fund the archies. But profitable businesses can't go after treasure directly, since they don't approve of that method. Got it.
