Mustaki amassed a collection of antiquities from Alexandria in Egypt. Mustaki was an avid collector in the early 20th century and his collection came to the UK under Egyptian license in 1947. Many of the pieces are in major museums world wide, including the British Museum, the Getty Museum and the Egyptian state museum.
