The core of Eton College's fine collection of Egyptian decorative objects was collected by old Etonian Major W J Myres during his posting in Cairo during the late 19th century. This attractive catalogue illustrates and discusses 100 objects from a special exhibition at the Myers Museum which travelled to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in Autumn 2000. The stunning objects, arranged chronologically and illustrated in colour, include ceramics, model figures, faience items, cosmetic implements, scarabs, shawabti, chalices, jewellery and Romano-Egyptian portraits.
