   @ninawillburger Was it lent for display or is it just one of the countless items the British simply stole?

     This funerary wreath is made of everlasting flowers (Helichrysum stoechas) and is more than 1,700 years old!
     It was found in a tomb of the #Roman period in Hawara/#Egypt and has survived due to Egypt's dry climate.
     Dating 2nd/3rd c. AD.

     On display at British Museum
