Faience may have originated as a cheaper, and more readily available, version of turquoise or lapis lazuli, but it soon achieved its own status and art form. It was always a material for the Egyptian elite, and its radiant blue-green colour came to symbolize rebirth and renewal in the after-life. Over 200 objects have been collected from the USA and Europe for this fascinating study of the material, and while some are familiar Egyptian amulets, the originality and freshness of the design of many of the objects make this a wonderful book to browse through.
