Seller's Description:
NF/VG, lovely copy, jacket shows some rubbing and very slight edge wear. Black cloth, black DJ with color illus. 288 pp. 483 illustrations, with 224 in color. In English. Published on the occasion of the exhibition of the same name held at the Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland, Ohio, May 19, 1998-July 5, 1998; and two other locations/times. Colorless when it entered the kiln, the ceramic material known as Egyptian faience was transformed by firing into the sparkling blue of the Egyptian sky ad a wide range of other scintillating colors. Imbued by the ancient Egyptians with great symbolic significance-resplendent with radiance and filled with the shimmer of celestial light, it was the perfect metaphor for life, rebirth and immortality. Over two hundred beautiful faience objects from collections in Europe and the U.S. are reproduced in lavish color with a detailed description of each, along with a technical glossary, extensive bibliography, maps and chronological table. Five essays by top scholars in the field illuminate the subject.

Seller's Description:
New. *** FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request ***-*** IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT-FLAWLESS COPY-AVAILABLE IMMEDIATELY, WHY WAIT? --280 pages-This publication is the first in-depth American study of faience, a non-clay ceramic material with a glistening surface of scintillating colors including the vibrant blue of the Egyptian sky. Five essays and individual object entries by top scholars in the field illuminate the subject. "Gifts of the Nile" features more than two hundred small-scale masterpieces spanning three thousand years of ancient Egyptian history. --Library Journal: an intimate look at a critical area of Egyptian art. There is little gold to catch the eye and no colossal statues to marvel at in the exhibit, but many of the faience pieces selected are important and most are exquisite. While spectators in exhibit halls must jostle to view each item, the catalog's photographs permit a detailed look, and essays by outstanding scholars in the field provide insight into creation and use. The photographs are exceptionally clear, critical in a book so filled with detail. This is a definitive work in what had been a barren field. Highly recommended for large public and academic libraries. -Mary Morgan Smith--with a bonus offer--
