The book deals with the Fayum and its God Sobek and is a priestly manual with this copy being the most important due to its many images and good preservation.
The book exists in many different papyrus' as well as Sobek's temple in the Fayum and on coffins from the area. The show will be running between October 6- January 5, 2014 so get your ticket soon or miss this amazing opportunity.
