Winner of the Erazm Majewski Award in archeological publications from the Division I: Humanities and Social Sciences of the Polish Academy of Sciences!This lavishly illustrated book provides a comprehensive analysis of clothing in Late Period Egypt (750 to 332 BC) through a comparison of representations on reliefs, paintings, and statues to preserved textiles, and supplemented by references in ancient texts. It shows the historical evolution of clothing that extends far beyond the Late Period. The book reveals the influence of archaism and innovation, as well as how clothes reflect geography, ethnicity, and social roles. It provides some new criteria for dating and interpretation of representations through careful examination of changes in Egyptian fashion. The resulting work is of value to anyone studying dress in ancient Egypt and other areas of the ancient world."...A. Hallmann’s work remains an essential reference, first and foremost because of the treasury of visual material which it conveniently places at one’s fingertips." - Robert Steven Bianchi, in: JARCE 60 (2024)
