About this Item

Fine. One of Boston's Museum of Fine Arts' excellent publications. Queen Mersyankh III was the daughter of Hetepheres II and Prince Kawab, and wife of King Khafre. (The name Mersyankh is often transcribed as "the Living One loves her," but now, the version Meresankh, "she loves life" has been almost universally adopted.) Her tomb was discovered in 1927 by George Reisner, with further excavations undertaken by the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and Harvard University. The Museum holds a statue from her tomb of Queen Hetepheres embracing her late daughter Meresankh. The first volume of the Giza Mastabas Series. Pristine throughout. Twenty plates, 14 figures, two multi-paged foldouts. No names or markings of any kind. Fine. Faint discoloration of covers. Seller Inventory # 426

Terms of Sale:

Shipping Terms:

All books are shipped bubble-wrapped and boxed so they arrive in perfect condition. Each book shipped domestically is tracked. Shipping charges and delivery times are based on United States Postal Service estimates--the USPS says its estimates for international shipping times are based on shipping to "many major markets," so please bear that in mind if you do not live in a large city. If you order more than one item through us, the extra books will receive a 25% discount on shipping. If an order has special shipping requirements, such as if it is over-sized, we will contact the buyer with a request for extra charges before further processing.
Multi-volume book sets: When it comes to the cost of shipping, books that are multi-volume sets are usually treated as if the customer had ordered more than one item: that is, the first volume costs full price, with the extra volumes receiving a 25% discount. For example, a three-volume set will cost $10--$4 for the first volume, $3 for each of the other two volumes. The exception may be very large sets, such as encyclopedias. Those will have special requirements and we will contact the buyer about the shipping costs before processing the sale.
