Egyptian Antiquities from the Eastern Nile Delta (Museums in the Nile Delta) (English and Arabic Edition)

About this book

"Archaeological highlights from the Sharkeya National Museum are the focus of the second volume of the M.i.N. series. Between 1973 and 2006 this little known museum had a multitude of finds on display which almost exclusively came from excavations of the Egyptian Antiquities' Organisation (EAO) at sites in the Eastern Nile Delta. Further objects came from P. Montet's excavations at Tanis. With support of the Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquities (SCA) a total of 144 objects have been documented for the present catalogue. All are depicted in colour and thoroughly explained. The objects are currently inaccessible but it is planned to display them in another museum in the future"--Publsiher website.
