All taken from the French persuasion and before as when ancient Egyptian artifacts were brought to light during the great explorations of the 1920's.

They made some of the prettiest things. Happy to own a few myself.
I had the privilege of doing maintenance on their Mathmatica exhibit when it was here in Los Angeles.
