FootnotesThe tile production increases in the second half of the sixteenth century and during the following centuries. The fragments discovered from various localities (pot-tiles, rectangular, triangular and trapezoidal panels, open-work crest tiles) were all produced in regional workshops, from the end of the 15th century or at the beginning of the 16th century. They all had diverse decorative motifs, mainly animals and geometrical or vegetal combinations, almost all of them singular finds for this study area.

Property of a Devon, UK collector, acquired at auction; previously in a private UK collection.
Shabtis have been a popular tourist souvenir for centuries. Perhaps the earliest example is a reproduction shabti of the Renaissance period that was once part of the collection of Archbishop William Laud (1573-1645). While most reproduction shabtis originate from Egypt, some figurines were made in Europe. For instance, in the late 19th century, the Sèvres factory in France produced soft-paste porcelain shabtis with a beautiful bright turquoise glaze.
