Seller's Description:
Near Fine. No Jacket. Quarto. 162pgs. Teal Cloth, gilt lettering on the spine. light wear to the corner tips, otherwise as new. Profusely illustrated with black and white photos, drawings. The limestone reliefs termed "Lisht Blocks" presented in this volume were found by the Metropolitan Museum's Egyptian Expedition, which was active at Lisht from 1906 to 1934. They had been removed from earlier, probably already dilapidated, buildings by Amenemhet I, founder of the XII Dynasty, and used in the construction of his own pyramid and funerary temple. With the passage of time both pyramid and temple fell into disrepair; these blocks became accessible, as they had been placed near the surface of the pyramid, in the lining of its corridors, and in the foundations of the temple.
