This brief exploration of the Brooklyn Museum’s monumental gateway model from the time of Sety I is abundantly illustrated and handsomely presented. This unique piece from ancient Egypt demonstrates in scale model form what the gateway would have been like in the period of Sety (1303-1290 BC), just prior to the period of the biblical Exodus. Several clear photographs of each segment of the model are presented along with comparative material from other sites in Egypt. Images of Sety himself are included, along with transcriptions and translations of the hieroglyphic inscriptions on the model. The reconstruction shows the grandeur of the original, but on a smaller scale. Also included is the concise study of Elizabeth Riefstahl entitled “The Recent History of King Sety’s Model with Bibliography.” These two pieces together offer a rare glimpse into the realm of ancient Egyptian monumental architecture. |
|  | Predynastic and Archaic Egypt in the Brooklyn Museum by Winifred Needler
This richly illustrated museum book on the Pre-dynastic and Archaic Egyptian materials in the Brooklyn Museum is very hard to locate. A full-sized exploration of the considerable materials from ancient Egypt owned by the museum, this volume is an indispensable tool for anyone wishing to use the museum’s collection for research. Fully illustrated with black and white photographs of the artifacts in the department, the book begins with a substantial historical introduction, followed by a re-evaluation of Henri de Morgan’s excavations in Upper Egypt. The finds from the principal sites, as well as sites of the Naqada Culture make up the initial presentation. A zoological study of an ivory knife handle also appears. A catalogue raisonné of the Predynastic and Archaic works including tools, household objects, cylinder seals, and figurines fills out the description. Useful appendices include sample pages of de Morgan’s notebooks and related objects in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. |
|  | Ancient Egyptian Glass and Glazes in the Brooklyn Museum by Elizabeth Riefstahl
Renowned for its facility with faience and other glasswork, ancient Egypt produced many surviving pieces of glassware.

With an introduction and descriptions by Elizabeth Riefstahl, this collection is informative as well as pleasing to view. Sprinkled with vividly colored illustrations, the photographs alone are worth the price of the volume. A variety of art forms are represented in this collection; deities, animals, jewelry, household wares, and anthropomorphic figures all grace the pages of this catalog. The first in the prestigious Wilbour Monograph series, this volume retains its value in presenting an art form in which ancient Egypt excelled. |

Sumptuously illustrated with both black and white and color photographs, Images for Eternity presents the objects displayed in 1975 at the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco. Temporarily receiving the Egyptian collection from the Brooklyn Museum and additional pieces from the Lowie Museum, the San Francisco exhibition was immortalized in this publication. Egyptian artifacts from 4000 to 40 B.C.E. were photographed and briefly described. This show book was intentionally designed to keep the reader interested in the artworks themselves rather than the explanatory notes. As a record of the arts of ancient Egypt, this collection is sure to please those with an eye towards art history and the development of artistic styles of one of the cradles of classical civilization.
