Life and Death in Ancient Egypt: The Dinaicopoulos Collection (English and French Edition)

The private antiquities collection of Vincent and Olga Diniacopoulos included a wide range of Egyptian antiquities spanning the prehistoric period through the Old and New Kingdoms, to early Christianity. This volume is the second on the Diniacopoulos collection (a selection of Greek and Roman antiquities was published in 2004). Twelve essays, seven in English and five in French, focus on objects of daily life, ritual activities, and funerary practices. Table of Contents: Illustrations Foreword/Avant-propos Jane E.
