Published in association with the National Museums of Scotland, this important volume of papers by leading Egyptological specialists examines various aspects of Egyptian art, including architecture, sculpture, the minor arts, and the history of collecting. Drawing on the work of the late Cyril Aldred, the acknowledged authority in the field, it is a significant contribution to the subject. The papers deal with a wide range of topics in the art-historical sphere, including "The 'Feminization' of the Male Figure in Two-Dimensional Art; " "Jewelry Fragments from the Tomb of Nefertari; " "The Malqata/El-Armana Blues -- Favourite Colours of Kings and Gods; " "Egyptian Bronze Sculpture Before the Late Period; " and "The Pyramid of Seila and its Place in the Succession of Snofru's Pyramids".
