| Comments on Object | According to Hawary, Cairo Islamic Art Museum records show that only 250 tombstones from Aswan came to the museum in 1904. However, ʿAbd al-Tawwāb confirmed that the groups of tombstones bearing the numbers 2721 and 1506 belong to the Aswan cemetery. Also, the records of the Committee for the Conservation of the Monuments of Arab Art — which managed Islamic and Coptic archaeological sites — confirm that the number of the other tombstones that were transferred from Aswan to the museum was 2104. And that they were transferred in two batches, the first comprising 999 complete tombstones, in 1892, under the auspices of M. Grébault. They hold the registration number 1506 in the museum records. One tombstone was broken into two parts, bringing the number of a thousand. Committee records also show that 1,104 remaining tombstones (461 complete and 643 pieces) were transferred to the museum and registered under number 2721.
