Collection: Ancient Egyptian

The ancient Egyptian culture thrived for over 3,000 years, lasting until the Roman conquest around 30 BC. Hieroglyphics, sarcophagi, sculptures, parchments, tombs, temples, pyramids, massive monuments and elaborate waterways were all part of their incredible achievements. Their artists were skilled in creating everything from simple pottery for practical use to elaborate gold jewelry for royalty. One characteristic common throughout Egyptian arts is a keen observation of nature combined with a geometric regularity and precision.
