Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Symbolism, at its deepest level, was the means by which the Egyptians interpreted the nature of life itself--the creation, the afterlife, and the struggle between good and evil. Today we too seek the spiritual wisdom hidden in these ancient symbols. Includes 92 illustrations, 52 in color.

4.0 out of 5 stars Ancient Egypt (Sacred Symbols), May 17, 2000
By A Customer
At first glance this miniature Thames and Hudson treasure seems like a greeting card, but the excellent color photographs and succint text provide a miniature tour of some of the finest jewels of ancient craft. The book is not large enough for more esorteric commentary, but the fine pictures display details welcomed by modern designers and metal smiths. This highly portable work is an excellent addition to any collector's library.

2.0 out of 5 stars Down Waste Your Money, November 10, 2002
By Brian Cheong (Singapore) - See all my reviews
This book is too small for one to appreciate the beauty of religious artwork from Eygpt and there are many better ones out there. Don't bother with this book. It is a waste of money.
