The pieces are inscribed5（题写，雕刻） with hieroglyphics6（象形文字） dating from the 3rd Century BC.

The artefacts（人工制品） were looted（抢劫） from the Saqqara burial ground in the ancient Egyptian capital of Memphis, south of Cairo, in 1999.

A statement said they were found by an expert from the University of Barcelona who noticed that the pieces "bore inscriptions that made him suspect they came from" Saqqara.

They had been on sale priced between 2,000 and 10,000 euros ($2,600; £1,700 and $13,000; £8,400).
