Egypt
New Book: Gifts for the Gods
Metropolitan Museum of ArtThe Metropolitan Museum of Art has released a new book to accompany its Gift for the Gods exhibtion on metalwork in ancient Egypt, about which I posted yesterday: Edited by Marsha Hill and Deborah Schorsch. Published in conjunction with the exhibition “Gifts for the Gods: Images from Egyptian Temples” at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, October 16, 2007–February 18, 2008.
This volume is the first to focus on the art and significance of Egyptian metal statuary, as well as the influences acting upon it. Presenting fresh insights into this body of work, the authors trace continuities in the development of the statuary, illuminate how its production was integrated within artistic and social structures, and examine its potential role in ritual practice. The superb statues and statuettes illustrated in this volume were made in a variety of precious metals and copper alloys over a span of two millennia. Also included in this volume are two essays on recent archaeological discoveries that shed light on poorly understood aspects of Egyptian metal statuary.
