More on the Glories of Ancient Egypt exhibition

A description of the Glories of Ancient Egypt exhibition which is showing at Daytona for six months: "Doll-like figures manage the oars on a miniature wooden boat, and suntan-colored pigments still cling to the faces on Old Kingdom limestone low-relief carvings. And it's easy to picture the makeup palette, a small slate tray decorated on one side with delicately carved birds, piled with freshly ground tints and waiting on a lady's dressing table more than 5,000 years ago.
