Author Description

Footwear in Ancient Egypt by André J. Veldmeijer is a beautifully illustrated catalogue of a special collection of ancient Egyptian shoes and sandals. The Medelhavsmuseet houses this unique collection that has been made public for the first time through this publication. In order to show the reader the way these types of footwear were once used, several reconstruction drawings have been made especially for this purpose. All objects in the collection are beautifully photographed, showing the reader extraordinary details of these fragile ancient artefacts.
