Egyptian section of Louvre

Once again we returned to the Louvre. This time I wanted to see the Egyptian collection. This is one of the outside wooden doors.
This is an interesting type of Egyptian art. 
This is a statue of a lion with haunting eyes. 
 I found several hieroglyphics of the dung beetle--it came to pass!
Here is another. 
 This symbol is often used on a sarcophagus on the top side very near the center.
 This one is engraved in stone.
Another in stone. 
 This one is not quite so easy to see.
