"The collection of ancient Egyptian jewellery in the British Musuem is huge and not generally well known. This volume is the first in a series which will present the whole of this body of material to the scholarly world in a systematic manner. Jewellery from the earliest times down to the end of the Second Intermediate Period is included here, covering a time-span of about 2,000 years. The catalog contains a high proportion of pieces from excavations, and is rich in material from Predynastic Periods, and from Nubian sites." (Publisher). Minor wear to dustjacket.
