A Catalogue of Egyptian Cosmetic Palettes in the Manchester University Museum CollectionPaperback, 31 December 2011

Following an introduction on Egypt's Predynastic Period, cosmetic palettes in general, methodology, and the origins of the Manchester Egyptian collection, this volume brings together every Predynastic cosmetic palette in the museum, providing details on type, dimensions, provenance, date and context, along with a description and bibliography. This data is then analysed according to provenance, type, date, acquisition source and context, followed by illustrations of specific graves and a full bibliography. Photographs of the palettes are then provided.
