In a letter to his mother in 1915, Bourne lists a series of souvenirs, including a fragment of plaster taken by him from the Valley of the Queens at Luxor. Another artefact is a fragment of semi transparent alabaster "similar to that used in building parts of the better Mosques". It appears that the identification of these two pieces was confused between their original collection in 1914 and donation in 1964.
