Egyptian statue Sekhemka sells for nearly £16m – another museum sold an important work from their collection to fund an expansion … even the family of the original donor will get a piece (it was donated back in 1880 by the 2nd Marquis of Northampton). The Egyptian statue brought £16m ($27M … est. $7-$11M) at a London sale.
