Crafts of Egypt provides the serious collector and the casual visitor with a compendium of information about the intriguing and diverse crafts of this ancient country. The history of each craft is traced from earliest times through all the social and economic changes that have developed it into the art form or skill it has become today. And while the marvel of a vibrant original tapestiy or a unique jewel is celebrated, so too are the rich and varied skills of the thousands of 'ordinary' artisans at their daily work—on pots or rugs, embroidery or leather, tents or woodwork, metal or stone.
