Gold glints from the tomb of Tutankhamen... gold and the thousand shades of the Nile lotus... here in 39 authentic pictures are designs taken from Tut's tomb and other shrines at Thebes, from the 18th to 20th Dynasties. As rendered by noted designer Ed Sibbett, Jr., they can be colored in the manner of the Egyptian painters or any way your imagination suggests. Some of these motifs, taken from tomb ceilings, murals, wood sculpture, vases, and papyrus paintings, have been featured in the traveling Tutankhamen exhibit. Identifying captions with historical information accompany each drawing, and a brief introduction and glossary of gods complete this coloring book, a fine source of ancient Egyptian historical design, and a pleasure to color in any medium. Paperback, 48 pages.
