Ramesside Ostraca

This volume is the first in the British Museum's Egyptian catalogue series to be devoted to ostraca, as oppose to other inscribed media. It publishes in full the hieratic ostraca of the Ramesside Period - a large, rich and varied collection covering the entire range of known text-types, documentary, literary and religious. It also includes the contemporary figured ostraca. Each ostracon is presented with a photograph and where the text is in hieratic, transcriptions are provided.

In the Tomb of Nefertari

The most lavishly decorated tomb in ancient Egypt was constructed for Queen Nefertari, wife of Rameses the Great. The Getty Conservation Institute has been instrumental in the effort to restore the tomb’s magnificent wall paintings, and in the fall of 1992, to mark the project’s completion, an exhibition was held at the Getty Museum. The exhibition included a model of the tomb and full-scale reproductions of the wall paintings. The publication describes the conservation work (including before and after photographs), outlines the life of Nefertari, and places the tomb in the context of Egyptian art history.
