Over 140 ancient Egyptian
ushabtis exquisitely photographed and meticulously catalogued. This
volume is particularly recommended due to the high quality of the
research, cross-referencing and individual translations of each and
every piece. Though some of the ushabtis are important, the book also
contains many examples which are still available on the market, making
it more useful to the collector than many museum catalogues which tend
to focus on the rarer pieces. The full size colour illustrations,
usually with multiple views of each figure, are of the highest possible
quality. A CD (playable on Windows formats only) accompanies this book
and provides the opportunity to view each ushabti with 360 degree
rotation.
This volume is a real
labour of love by the author, who encapsulates the 21st Century version
of the dedicated if almost fanatic amateur Egyptologists of the 1800's,
spurred by an appetite for knowledge and research.
With only 1000 copies
printed, it is set to become as rare and collectable as other ushabti
reference works which are no longer in print. We have a small group of
these books which are selling directly for the author at a very
competitive price. |
