Ancient art objects collected by Georges Ricard (1921-2012) from 1972-1988, many of which were formerly in the collection of Musée de l'Égypte et le Monde Antique: Collection Sanousrit, Monaco, 1975-1982.
Named after the workmen’s village Hetep-Senusret in Fayum, Egypt, home to workmen on the pyramid of pharaoh Senusret II, the Senusret Collection is composed of more than 1,500 objects from the ancient world. Highlights include Late Period coffins with mummies, gilded funerary masks, finely crafted bronze statuettes of deities, exquisite New Kingdom relief stele, Iranian Luristan bronzes, ancient Near Eastern cylinder seals, Attic Greek pottery, ancient gold jewelry, and an encyclopedic collection of ancient glass.
