These amulets belongs to the collection of Lord Grenfell acquired from the Luxor tomb excavations. Some of the pieces in the BNSS collection were given to the Society by members who knew of Grenfell's interest in Egypt. Many of the more important items were acquired from the 1917 Sotheby’s sale of his personal collection, including a model bakery scene and a model funerary boat from the Aswan tombs. Several of the pieces were probably excavated by Petrie. The bulk of the collection came to Bournemouth as part of a donation from the Blackmore Museum in Salisbury, including a 25th Dynasty mummy in her painted wooden coffin and a selection of funerary items such as Ptah-Sokar-Osiris figures, stelae and shabtis.
