Overview

In 1981, the Family of the late M.A. Mansoor, antiquarian in Cairo, Egypt, offered the Louvre Museum a pink limestone statuette of an Amarna Princess ( XVIII Dynasty – Egypt), in homage to the memory of the late Abbé Etienne Drioton, a giant of Egyptology. The artifact was accepted on behalf of the Louvre by the late, legendary Egyptologist, Christiane Desroches-Noblecourt. Read More
