Download or read book Ancient Egyptian Furniture written by Geoffrey Killen and published by Oxbow Books. This book was released on 2017-03-31 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this revised second edition Dr Killen continues his survey of Egyptian furniture-making techniques with a study of boxes, chests and footstools and traces their evolution from the earliest times. Wooden, papyrus and alabaster boxes and chests were used to hold, protect and store valuable objects, toilet utensils, instruments, tools, garments, curtains, game pieces and papyri amongst other things. Those from the Old Kingdom usually had flat lids and solid board sides, tied together at the corners. During later periods carcase construction became so sophisticated, with the introduction of frame and panel work, that it was possible to construct barrel, shrine and pent-shaped lids. Later chests were elaborately painted, some with funerary scenes, painted with hieroglyphs or had gilt fretwork decoration applied to the sides and lid. This book is copiously illustrated with drawings and photographs and contains a catalogue of additional known pieces of Egyptian furniture preserved in museum collections.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1954, the French writer, politician, and publisher André Malraux posed at home for a photographer from the magazine Paris Match, surrounded by pages from his forthcoming book Le musée imaginaire de la sculpture mondiale. The enchanting metaphor of the musée imaginaire (imaginary museum) was built upon that illustrated art book, and Malraux was one of its greatest champions. Drawing on a range of contemporary publications, he adopted images and responded to ideas. Indeed, Malraux’s book on the floor is a variation of photographer André Vigneau’s spectacular Encyclopédie photographique de l’art, published in five volumes from 1935 on—years before Malraux would enter this field. Both authors were engaged in juxtaposing artworks via photographs and publishing these photographs by the hundreds, but Malraux was the better sloganeer. Starting from a close examination of the photograph of Malraux in his salon, art historian Walter Grasskamp takes the reader back to the dawn of this genre of illustrated art book. He shows how it catalyzed the practice of comparing works of art on a global scale. He retraces the metaphor to earlier reproduction practices and highlights its ubiquity in contemporary art, ending with an homage to the other pioneer of the “museum without walls,” the unjustly forgotten Vigneau.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About 240 wooden statues survive from the Old Kingdom (c. 2575 - 2134 BC). The statues that can be dated by external criteria have been gathered together into a chronological catalogue and their features studied to establish dating criteria. The criteria are then applied to the remaining statues, enabling many of them to be assigned dates within individual reigns of the Old Kingdom.

Download or read book The God Resheph in the Ancient Near East written by Maciej M. Münnich and published by Mohr Siebeck. This book was released on 2013 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Resheph was quite a popular god in the 3rd and 2nd millennia BC - especially in Syria - but during the 1st millennium his cult became extinct. Finally it was only maintained in several peripheral and isolated sites, such as in the Palmyra desert and in Cyprus. Maciej M. Munnich presents the written sources which mentioned Resheph and analyzes the features of Resheph's cult. He emphasizes that there is no confirmation for the theory that Resheph was a lord of the netherworld. Resheph was a belligerent, aggressive god who used diseases to attack people, but who could also heal. Because of the long period of the cult and the geographical range, one can notice some local features: In Egypt, for instance, Resheph originally was venerated as the deity supporting the Pharaoh in battles, but then he was summoned mainly because of illness and everyday needs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Das altagyptische Totenbuch mit seinen etwa 200 Spruchen und dazugehorigen Illustrationen in immer neuen Zusammenstellungen auf verschiedenen Materialien (Papyri, Mumienbinden, Leichentucher, Sarge, Grabwande u.a.) stellt eine der bedeutendsten Quellen zur religiosen Literatur und Ikonographie des Alten Agypten dar. Im September 2005 richtete das Bonner Totenbuch-Projekt eine interdisziplinare Konferenz aus, deren Beitrage in diesem Band zusammengestellt sind. Die 27 oft reich bebilderten Aufsatze umfassen eine Vielfalt von Themen: Publikationen bislang unbekannter Handschriften auf den unterschiedlichsten Texttragern, Untersuchungen einzelner Texte oder Darstellungen aus dem Totenbuch, das Totenbuch als Quelle zu ausgewahlten religionswissenschaftlichen Themen, Beginn und Ende der Totenbuch-Uberlieferung und allgemeine Beobachtungen zum Totenbuch (zur Bezeichnung des Verstorbenen als Osiris, zur Palaographie, zur Anordnung der Vignetten, zu Totenbuch- Vignetten auf den Sargen der Dritten Zwischenzeit, zu Amulettpapyri). Daruber hinaus prasentieren funf Restaurierungswissenschaftler den aktuellen Forschungsstand zu sachgemasser Konservierung und Aufbewahrung von Papyri, zur Lesbarmachung stark nachgedunkelter Schrift, zu verwendeten Farben und moglichen Falttechniken.
