Africa’s rich and diverse artistic traditions vividly express a spiritual view of the world. Here are line drawings of more than 300 fascinating symbols of their beliefs, with an examination of their cultural meaning: magnificent sculptures and masks from Western and Central Africa; stylized ornaments from North Africa and the Sahel zone; beautiful clothing, jewelry, and hairpieces of nomadic East Africa; and intriguing objects from South Africa.

A very interesting book, that sheds light on different parts of the ancient Egypt ways.

I studied a lot in it; it is a good companion when you travel along the sightseeings in egypt.
However: it is far for complete.

Lots of symbols but too little archaeological context. Author might actually believe some of the mythological stuff.
