'''11.01 - Chair'''
</gallery>
It is an armchair from '''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hetepheres_I Queen Hetepheres I]''', the wife of king '''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sneferu Senefru] '''and mother of king '''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khufu Khufu] '''(a.k.a. Cheops). It has papyrus leaves on the side. It is now in the '''Caïro museum, Egypt. '''The chair comes from the 4th Dynasty (ca. 2600 BC).
The tomb of Queen Hetepheres I was discovered in 1925 by '''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Andrew_Reisner George Reisner]'''. The tomb was hidden and complete by discovery. Some items can be seen '''[https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Hetepheres here]'''.
I don’t know the exact match. But it looks like the sarcophagus of
'''[https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Sarcophagi_of_the_Egyptian_22nd_dynasty#/media/File:WLA_brooklynmuseum_Cartonnage_of_Nespanetjerenpere_2.jpg Nespanetjerenpere] '''(late period).
'''11.04 - Coffin'''
It’s a coffin of the Middle Kingdom in Ancient Egypt. The owner is called Irinimenpu''' '''and is located now in the '''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Archaeological_Civic_Museum_(MCA)_of_Bologna Museum of Bologna]'''. Found''' [http://www.museibologna.it/archeologicoen/percorsi/67473/luogo/66343/id/74866/oggetto/74874/ here]'''. After long looking into the eyes of Horus I am convinced that this is it.
In hieroglyphics it says: Wesir (Osiris), neb-Djedu (lord of Djedu / Busiris), aa-netjer (the great god), lord of Abedu (Abydos) gives all the good things to the deceased.

Don’t know what kind of this thing is. It could be the other side of a scarab. But it is too vague.
'''11.07 - Ankh symbol'''
* the god '''Heh '''with two tadpole, the symbol of Million years.
* a '''djed symbol''', a pillar like symbol representing stability.
* a '''was-sceptre''', a straight staff with a forked end representing power.
'''11.08 - Scarab'''
</gallery>
Could be any '''scarab'''. There are lots of them.
<blockquote>''From the middle Bronze Age, other ancient peoples of the Mediterranean and the Middle East imported scarabs from Egypt and also produced scarabs in Egyptian or local styles, especially in the Levant. ('''[https://research.britishmuseum.org/research/collection_online/collection_object_details.aspx?images=true&objectId=144225&page=1&partId=1&searchText=Scarab Source]''')''</blockquote>
