Iranian Archeologists to Study Egyptian Style Artifacts
The aim of the team's effort is to
inspect and scrutinize relics that have yet to be studied properly. Artifacts
include perfume bottles and jewelry and those linked to ancient superstitions
and beliefs such as sculpture heads and talismans.
According to a press tv report, the team is led by Sepideh Ghaheri, who is a
masters student at Lyon University of France, studying Egyptology.

vast collections kept at Tehran's Reza Abbasi museum and Naranjestan museum in
Shiraz.
