    DescriptionThe Cumings did not collect large or costly treasures. Very often they were just as fascinated with what look like mundane items such as this piece of twisted cord made of date palm fibre from Ancient Egypt. We do not know the exact period of Egyptian history this comes from but tiny objects like this are remarkable survivors.
