Cairo - A delegation from Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities (SCA) will head to Spain to bring back three items of Pharaonic antiquities, SCA Secretary-General Zahi Hawas said Thursday.

Hawas said that the pieces, which had been displayed at the Egyptian museum in Barcelona belong to the "New Kingdom" era, which began with the 18th Pharaonic dynasty during the 16th century BC and lasted until the rule of the ancient Greeks in Egypt.
