Each of these media is examined in turn, and the exquisite workmanship and knowledge of individual makers is revealed and celebrated. The book accompanies a major exhibition at the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFully illustrated and full of new research, \u003cem\u003eMade in Ancient Egypt\u003c\/em\u003e will appeal to enthusiasts and scholars alike. It approaches a familiar subject from a fresh angle, focusing on the artists and makers. The many scholars involved also reveal their personal appreciation and understanding of the different media they have studied or frequently restored, seeking to get to the heart of the methods of the ancient craftsmen, whose work they have learned to respect and admire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThese scholars have been aided by modern technology, which gives a holistic analysis of these objects that are now some 4,000 years old but can often be 'read' nearly in their entirety. Almost 100 different objects are presented and discussed for their typical or unusual features. Besides the editor's introduction, there is an essay on the difficulties of talking about individual artists in Ancient Egypt by Alessio delli Castelli and Dimitri Laboury, and conversations with contemporary makers working with the same materials today in much the same way as artists would have done in Ancient Egypt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e3 October 2025 – 25 January 2026\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePublished by Paul Holberton Publishing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46871414112492,"sku":"9781913645922","price":71.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9127713482869.jpg?v=1759879178","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/made-in-ancient-egypt-9781913645922","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
