* A collection of finely preserved Ushabti
* The Tablet of Amonkhet
* The Coil of Apep (Currently not on display)
=== Greco-Roman History and Culture ===
The exhibit of Greco-Roman History and Culture is among the most comprehensive collections in North America. A reflection of the complexity and resonance of that rich period, this collection is home objects ranging from coinage and gemstones to beautifully painted vases and runs. The expertly preserved statues, mosaics, and tapestries reflect materials in which the best Greek and Roman artisans worked: marble, limestone, terracotta, glass, and fine metals such as bronze, silver and gold. Some of the more prominent examples including objects worked in rarer materials, ivory, iron, amber, and wood. 
Some of the strengths of this fine collection include:
* Greek grave reliefs - linked to 'mystery' cults
* The coat of the Nemean Lion
* An expansive Hellenistic History section
* Bronze statues portraying Ares as a goddess (Or purportedly, Mars)
* "The Flight of Mars", a rich tapestry featuring 'goddess' Mars fighting alongside a bird-headed warrior
A new exhibit, Ancient Greeks: Athletes, Warriors, and Heroes hosts objects of value to pankration, the Olympic games, and Greek armor and weapons.
