In this photo provided by Bonhams Auctioneers are banded travertine objects: from front left: a cosmetic spoon with the handle in the form of an ankh-sign and a small 'magical jar' vase with a stopper. From left, rear: a bag-shaped flask; a kohl-pot; and a cosmetic vase with lid, all part of Treasure of Harageh collection. The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York has purchased the objects, part of a collection of 37, 4,000-year-old Egyptian artifacts found a century ago by a British explorer, averting a plan to auction the antiquities that had drawn criticism from historians.
