Surprisingly enough, the bronze statuary from ancient Egypt has until now withstood all attempts at a meaningful stylistic and chronogical investigation. The author, having studied a subgroup of three hundred bronze kings, offers a range of insights into the complex of influences that bronzes represent, and the ritual role of the statuary.
With a full catalogue of the three hundred bronze kings studied and an appendix on the history of the kneeling pose in Egyptian statuary.
The book is illustrated with more than eighty plates.
