Ancient Egyptian Art Collection

Ancient Egyptians had distinctive styles and forms for their art work, ranging from painted hieroglyphics, to stone statues, to carved, wooden sarcophagi. However, ancient Egyptians didn't have the kind of advanced tools or materials that are available to modern artists. They took advantage of natural stone and wood, imported some materials, and made other items like pigment and stone tools. The result was art work that, in some cases, looks as good centuries later as it did when it was created.
