Egyptian Sculpture

This concise, illustrated survey of 3000 years of Eyptian sculpture is based on the great collections of the British Museum. Why and how this immense range of sculpture was made, and the paths by which so many splendid examples reached the Museum, form the intrduction to this book. The authors go on to describe many of the finest sculptures in the collections, most of which can now be seen in the Egtptian Sculpture Gallery.James, T.
