The opportunity to look at faience amulets and larger pieces greatly enlarged close up is thrilling. The photography is perfectly brilliant. The large hard cover book feels luxurious. I find I can learn more from exhibition catalogs than from any other type of book on Egypt. Diverse Egyptologists write up different pieces, explaining the symbolic significance of the subjects, colors and materials. The book format with a center section of color plates and a following set of discussions about each piece is easy to use because of small black and white reference photos and page number references to the color plates. Unlike some other catalogs, it also features a comprehensive index.
100% Good !
