This paper presents a small collection of artefacts uncovered in the area of the Eastern Temple at Wad Ben Naga during the excavations by the Sudanese mission in 1958–1959. The attribution of these unpublished finds to the spatial context of the temple relied on object labels preserved on their cases in the Sudan National Museum. The collection supplements the record of finds identified previously by other means. In addition, two statuettes from the same context previously known only from sketches, could be identified and described.

The Náprstek Museum, Prague holds in its collection an ancient Egyptian mummy of Abdim’s stork. The mummy, along with other ancient Egyptian antiquities, was transferred to the National Museum in 1933 from the Esterházy chateau in Tomášikovo, Slovakia. Originally, it was believed to be the mummy of a human child; however, examination through initially destructive and later non-destructive methods identified the object as a mummy of a stork.

The monotypic genus Pakistatyrus Hlaváč, 2006 of the tribe Tyrini (Staphylinidae: Pselaphinae) previously contained a single species described based on two museum specimens found in northern Pakistan. Here I describe P. inconspicuus sp. nov. from a high-altitude area of Tibet. This species differs from P. ater Hlaváč, 2006 in reddish-brown coloration of the body, simple male antennae and metatibiae, and a much broader median lobe of the aedeagus. Both known species are probably locally endemic and have limited dispersal abilities, suggested by their greatly reduced elytra and lack of functional wings. A record of a second species from Tibet, which is represented by a female, is given.

This essay seeks to conduct a short study for the first time of the classification of a number of petroglyphs in Mianeh County in the Eastern Azarbaijan Province. The north-western region of Iran is one of the richest regions in rock art; due to its abundant springs, landscape, and the specific lifestyle of nomads who regularly move around the same places. The petroglyphs were discovered 20 km west of Mianeh City on the right side of Tabriz Road, and are located on a black mountain in the Chupughlu region. One of the key challenges in the study of the petroglyphs in Iran and north-western region of Iran is their dating. Due to the lack of laboratorial equipment, they have not been studied yet. During the survey in 2016 of the Chupughlu region almost seventy sites were identified and are located at a distance of between 60–100 m from each other. Here we present eleven sites. The petroglyphs of Mianeh are among the most original and admirable petroglyphs that reflect parts of the life of the residents of this region in the past. The most remarkable images found through the petroglyphs consist of human, animal, and geometrical images

The paper deals with a small Egyptian stela (Accession No. NM 8/51; Inv. No. P 1637) kept in the Náprstek Museum acquired from the well-known 20th century Prague opera soloist Ivo Žídek. The stela is described in detail. It was commissioned by a man of an uncertain name who held the uncommon title of the ‘Chief Barber of the City’. Based on comparative study and analysis of the style and texts, the stela could be dated to the 19th Dynasty and identified as coming from the ancient Thebes.

The twenty-first excavation season focused on the continued exploration of the so-called Isis Temple (WBN 300) and chapel WBN 1100. In the temple, the area of the northern corridor, the northern vestibule, and the southern sanctuary were primarily examined, confirming its assumed internal distribution. Numerous fragments of the temple’s iconographic and epigraphic program were retrieved. Furthermore, the southern sanctuary was uncovered and parts of a bark stand that stood in it were found. Amongst notable finds from the temple, there was also a fragment of an abacus previously documented by the Royal Prussian Expedition. Two burials were uncovered in the secondary cemetery over the temple. The excavations in the area of chapel WBN 1100 allowed to estimate its spatial limits and architectural layout. Dozens of fragments of architectural sandstone elements and reliefs coming from the chapel were recorded, adding to the growing evidence of its architectural design and iconographical program. A discard area with remains of cultic equipment and goods presumably used for the management of the cult was documented.
