Synopsis

Including many seals published here for the first time, this catalogue is as near as possible a complete catalogue of Egyptian seals, mostly of the Middle Kingdom and Second Intermediate Period, as known in 1971. The seals fall into two main diisions: private-name seals, mostly carved into the form of the sacred scarab beetle, and stamp-seals of government departments and military forts, usually bearing the name of the office concerned. Each catalogue entry lists the reading, a classification of type, and relevent bibliographic references. Severla hundred of the most important designs are illustrated in clear hand-drawn plates.
