First published in 2005. Gaston Maspero, the leading expert on Egyptian art, writes here with authority and style on a very significant aspect of ancient Egypt. By compiling and publishing this volume, he sought to familiarise the general public with some of the finest examples of ancient Egyptian art, and to enhance their appreciation of these treasures. Many of the pieces described herein were examined by the author in museums around the world. Others he caught as they emerged from the ground, moments after their discovery.
