Artifacts from Sir Cedric Morris

ref.: "Artifacts from Sir Cedric Morris" by Colin Reeve, September 6, 2000

I am fortunate to have been given a number of Egyptian artefacts. I was told by the person who gave them to me that they were previously in the ownership of the British artist Sir Cedric Morris (died 1983). I am not looking to sell any of the pieces, but would like eventually for them to go into the collection of a public museum.
Could anyone offer a date and a technical description for these objects? And offer any opinion on the hieroglyphs?
