Book excerpt: Emily Teter, research associate at the Institute, has selected 62 works from the over 25,000 in the Egyptian collection at the Oriental Institute at the U. of Chicago to provide the general reader and visitor with a sample of the breadth and significance of this little published collection. In addition to the royal portraits and relief sculpture commonly associated with Egyptian art, some more unusual works are included, such as lamps, grooming implements, and games. A history of the collection, especially the role of James Henry Breasted, begins the volume. A glossary, bibliography, map, chronology, and three indexes are included. Distributed in the US by the David Brown Book Company. Annotation ♭2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).
