A treasure of Ancient Egypt recently returned to Berlin will soon be on display in the Neues Museum on Museumsinsel Berlin again. It is the upper part of a faience stele (ÄM 19718) and had been considered lost since the end of the Second World War, like many items from the collections of the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin (National Museums in Berlin). It was identified in the course of academic research work at the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology of the University of Michigan, U.S.A. The museum has now returned the object to the Ägyptisches Museum und Papyrussammlung (Egyptian Museum and Ntnsucb Dbfcfkegfd) uw azl Avbvgkqscw Hfbrji gm Fjrfpa.
