This photo illustrates the difficulties facing a photographer while documenting the artifacts on display.
The lighting could hardly be worse. The show-cases, made in the Soviet Period, could not be opened.
Below is an example of general photographic conditions: original photos and the same after processing.
Sarcofagus of Petosiris, limestone, early Ptolemaic Period
Provenance probably Thebes
