The present article aims to publish the incomplete manuscript prepared by von Bissing for the Catalogue général des antiquités égyptiennes du Musée du Caire, which was intended to catalogue the objects of Queen Ahhotep’s treasure. The goal was to produce a single volume that would include only the items from the discovery of the queen’s burial equipment. However, this publication project never came to fruition, and the Catalogue général numbers assigned by von Bissing (from *CG 19500 to *CG 19549, later extended till *GC 18566) have been annulled. Nonetheless, von Bissing completed most of the entries, and his manuscript provides important additions to the study of the assemblage of Queen Ahhotep

However, this publication project never came to fruition, and the Catalogue général numbers assigned by von Bissing (from *CG 19500 to *CG 19549, later extended till *GC 18566) have been annulled.
