THE COLLECTION OF THE ST. EUPHEMIA MONASTERY AT KAMPOR ON THE ISLAND OF RAB

The St. Euphemia monastery on the island of Rab owns a diverse collection that contains also the artifacts from the ancient Near East. The collection was donated to the monastery by Ivo Kugli. There are no information perserved on the date of the donation. However, it is known that the artifacts of the Egyptian culture were purchased in Aquileia from a Jew who ran from Gestapo to USA. The origin of the artifacts is not established with certainty. It is not known wheter they originate from Egypt or from the territory of Aquileia. It is not even established if they were originals or fakes.

The collection consists of the following artifacts: two tablets in cuneiform, four shabtis, two figurines representing the goddess Isis, a figurine of the god Osiris, a tablet with a hieroglyphic inscription, and some small material (one phalos, and several animal images which cannot be determined as of Egyptian origin with certainty). Up to the present, the collection was written about by A. Bonifačić (1985), and M. Tomorad (2003).
