Flinders Petrie, the father of scientific Egyptology, surveys the character of Egyptian art and the periods and schools that shaped it. He then moves craft by craft through statuary, reliefs, painting and drawing, architecture, stone vases, jewellery, metalwork, glazes, ivory and woodwork, explaining materials and techniques from his own excavations.
