A guide to the third and fourth Egyptian rooms : predynastic antiquites, mummied birds and animals, portrait statues, figures of gods, tools, implements and weapons, scarabs, amulets, jewellery and other objects connected with the funeral rites of the ancient Egyptians
A guide published by the British Museum's Department of Western Asiatic Antiquities in London in 1904, written for visitors to its third and fourth Egyptian rooms and covering funerary objects such as amulets, scarabs, and mummied animals. The plates are line drawings and photographs of stone stelae, painted tomb scenes, and bronze vessels and figures. A designer could draw on their clean outline style and the stylised seated figures with symbolic headdresses and regalia.
