The Meaning Of Late Prehistoric Egyptian Images Has Until Now Been Tantalizingly Mysterious, As Little Understood As The Circumstances Of Their Production. As A Result, Analyses Of These Images Have Been General And Often Incorrectly Illustrated. Whitney Davis Now Provides A Welcome Remedy In This Detailed Reinterpretation Of The Images Carved On Ivory Knife Handles And Schist Cosmetic Palettes. These Images Are Among The Most Important Documents Of Early Egyptian History And Include The Narmer Palette, Often Considered The Very Inception Of Ancient Egyptian Image Making.Davis Deciphers The Intriguing Pictorial Narratives And Complex Metaphors Of Images That Are Concerned With 'Masking The Blow' Of The Ruler.

His Work Will Greatly Interest Art Historians, Archaeologists, Anthropologists, And Students Of The Visual Arts.
