Private collections
There si unkown number of private collections of the Egyptian antiquities today in Croatia. They can be divided into two groups:
- the private collections included in the collections of various museum institutions
- the collections kept by private persons, often at their homes. These collections are mostly unpublished, unsystematized, and unkown to the public. According to the law, every private collection has to be reported, examined, and evaluated, but the law is not abided by in practice.
In the area of the towns of Zagreb, Hvar, Kutina, Požega, Sisak, and Split (for example, the Carrara-Bratanić collection published by Petar Selem in 1971), the private persons are in possession of larger or smaller collections of the Egyptian antiquities.
There was an exhibition of the Dražen Kovačić and Žarko Bošnjak Egyptian collection in the Museum of Moslavina in Kutina in the June of 1991. This collection has approximately 500 artifacts, and the exhibition showed about 100 Egyptian artifacts ranging from the Nagada period to the Roman era. The exhibited artifacts were objects for everyday use, death masks, small plastic, amulets, jewelry, fragments of the sarcophagi, and votive stelae. The locality of the collections is not known to us.
However, these collections are not examined expertly, systematized, nor published, and the authenticity of the major part of these collections is questionable.
