Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. The head and tail of the spine is bumped and the edges lightly chipped and there is minor shelfwear to the back cover. The body of the book is in excellent condition, clean, solid and unmarked. xvii, 399 pages, including index. Fourth printing. "The Scepter of Egypt presents the culture of ancie…nt Egypt as it is reflected in the large and comprehensive collection of Egyptian antiquities in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The account-written by the eminent Egyptologist and former Curator of Egyptian Art at the Museum, William C. Hayes-traces cultural development from prehistoric times through the end of the New Kingdom. The historical narrative is wholly derived from the objects in the Museum's collection, which are understood as testimonials of the life, tastes, and thought processes of the ancient Egyptians, "one of the most interesting and attractive people of the ancient world." The book provides the reader with both a detailed history of the art and culture of ancient Egypt and a guide through the collection of the Metropolitan Museum's Egyptian galleries." (Publisher's blurb).
