Ancient Egypt Designs-Coloring Book

Color 39 authentic Egyptian designs from Tutankhamen's tomb and Thebes

Authentic motifs from Tutankhamen's tomb and other Theban shrines bring ancient Egyptian artistry into contemporary reach. Designer Ed Sibbett, Jr. rendered 39 historically accurate designs drawn from tomb ceilings, murals, wood sculpture, vases, and papyrus paintings spanning the 18th through 20th Dynasties. Each design captures the geometric precision and symbolic richness that defined Egyptian decorative arts, lotus patterns, hieroglyphic borders, divine figures, and ornamental details that once adorned royal burial chambers.

Historical captions accompany each illustration, providing context about the original artifacts and their significance. Some motifs featured here appeared in the traveling Tutankhamen exhibition, connecting your coloring work to objects that captivated museum audiences worldwide. The introduction and glossary of Egyptian deities help you understand the symbolism embedded in these ancient designs.

The paperback format opens flat for comfortable coloring across 48 pages. These line drawings accommodate any medium you choose, colored pencils for subtle gradations, markers for bold contrast, or watercolors for translucent layering that echoes the mineral pigments Egyptian artists once ground by hand. Whether you follow authentic color schemes or interpret these designs through modern palettes, you're engaging with visual language that has endured for millennia.
