The author, having studied a subgroup of three hundred bronze kings, offers a range of insights into the complex of influences that bronzes represent, and the ritual role of the statuary.With a full catalogue of the three hundred bronze kings studied and an appendix on the history of the kneeling pose in Egyptian statuary.The book is illustrated with more than eighty plates.
