Two very special groups of antiquities are up for sale in the Bonhams, London May 23 antiquities auction in Knightsbridge.
First, a group of 4 Lots of Egyptian. Roman, Greek, Cypriot and European antiquities being sold to benefit the Chris M. Maupin

of ancient art. These Lots are numbers 259 through 262 (on Page 82 of the printed catalog). Also up for sale is a group of
nine Lots of Egyptian antiquities, including many fine scarabs with royal names, a large stone heart scarab inscribed with
text from the Book of the Dead, amulets, beads in faience and hardstone and more. All of these were once in the Dr. Richard
Swift Collection, acquired mostly in the 1940s and '50s. Every item includes its original index card from the collection catalog.
The Swift collection is listed as Lots 229-287 (Pages 88-92 in the printed catalog).
