From the Publisher
This interperative study of faience, the first of its kind, presents Egyptian faience in both an academic and visually exciting manner. Illustrated essays by five leading scholars explore the meaning of faience within Egyptian culture, discussing its uses, symbolism, and technology. Every object is reproduced in lavish color. Spectacular, charming, impressive, and surprising, these small-scale masterpieces in faience glimmer with the brillance of eternity.
