Brick, made by Israelites while working as slaves for the pharaoh of Egypt before the time of Christ. This brick used to be in the British Museum (London).
My paternal grandfather, who put a good many miles behind him, had acquired some extraordinary scarab amulets and took them to the museum to see whether they wanted them for the Egyptology section. They offered to either purchase them, or exchange them for something else. My grandfather chose to take this brick. (Noted by Harry Fields in his donation letter in 1974).
