Papyrus scrolls and inscribed linen mummy wrappings from the Getty’s own collection, written with spells to see the dead safely into the afterlife.

Back on view after a first showing in 2023, the display draws on the burials of eight people. Four papyri, made for Webennesre, Ankhesenaset, Aset and Pasherashakhet, span about 1450 to 100 BCE; three linen strips come from the wrappings of two men both named Petosiris; a ushabti figurine and part of a coffin lid complete it.

Sara E. Cole curates; texts are in English and Spanish.

### *Sculpted Portraits from Ancient Egypt*

Jan 24, 2024 – Nov 9, 2026 · on view

- Mon, Oct 26, 2026: Online talk by Egyptologist Kathryn Howley on Nubia’s influence in Egypt, 12 pm

Portrait statues of court officials and priests, with reliefs, figurines and sarcophagi, from Egypt’s Saite revival, lent by the British Museum.

The works date from the Twenty-Sixth Dynasty (664–526 BCE), named for its capital at Sais in the Nile Delta and a time of artistic revival. Statues in basalt, granite and quartzite portray officials of the court and priesthood; those made for temples let their subjects worship the gods forever, while those placed in tombs could shelter the spirit of the dead. All are on special loan from the British Museum, London, with texts in English and Spanish.
