Freud also chose artefacts of similar content from non-Egyptian cultures: e.g., the figurine of Athena, goddess of wisdom and war (London, Freud Museum, inv. no. 3007): see the contribution of Lucilla Burn, in Gamwell and Wells 1989, 110. 91 His journeys reveal that Freud had already been fascinated by ancient Egyptian art and culture long before he began collecting antiquities: letters sent back to Martha Bernays from Paris and Berlin in 1885-86 report with a voice of rapture about his visits to the Louvre, as well as to the
