About the Item
Treasures of Tutankhamun 1976 Book from King Tut Exhibit at Metro Museum of Art.
This book is the companion catalog to the Tuankhamun exhibit that toured six american museums in the late 1970's. It is rich with stunning photographs taken from the original glass negatives of the 1922 dig and vivid color photos that are still unsurpassed by today digital imaging. The majority of artifacts of this 70's era United States tour were, unfortunately, not included in the recent 2006 exhibit. One such object is Tut's gold funerary mask that, by modern Egyptian law, can no longer leave the country.
The objects included in this book are the pinnacle of artistic and aesthetic beauty recovered from the tomb and rarely seen in other volumes on Tutankhamun. The range of subject matter is wonderful in archaeological content describing each object (in the order it was excavated), historic significance and meaning of ancient Egyptian religious and cultural themes. I.E.S. Edwards, Former Keeper of Egyptian Antiquities, British Museum, has put forth a superlative commentary on the discovery of king Tutankhamuns' tomb and the world in which he lived.
This book is a "must have" for anyone interested in Tut's finest objects as well as a great "mini"-reference in Egyptology.
