"Featuring over four hundred spectacular colour photographs, The Royal Gold of Ancient Egypt presents the widest range of ancient Egyptian gold objects and jewels ever assembled in a single volume. It is a comprehensive study of the subject, not only revealing an array of some of the most dazzling jewellery and metalwork ever produced but also tracing the development of the goldsmiths' techniques and fashions. The authors draw on textual evidence, representations from tomb wall-paintings and other archaeological remains to examine the place of gold in the lives of the ancient Egyptians: whether soldiers on the great expeditions to the desert mines, goldsmiths in their workshops or nobles and kings and the style and fashion of the jewellery that they wore."--BOOK JACKET.
Since ancient times the world's most powerful people have collected together priceless objects for their own indulgence, often artifacts with an element of the strange and wonderful, dazzling with gold and glittering with gemstones.
