From late Predynastic to Roman times it was shaped into a myriad of objects, such as amulets, chalices, beads, jewelry, animal and human figurines, inkwells, dolls, game boards, inlays, and tiles used by many Egyptians but especially royalty and the court circle. Dull and almost colorless when it entered the kiln, faience was transformed by firing into the sparkling blue of the Egyptian sky and a wide range of other scintillating colors. More than just a practical and useful material, faience was 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." The book is very well illustrated with 484 illustrations, 224 of which are in color. Condition: This book is in very good condition.
