Motifs (Egyptian)
leave a comment »
Geometric or stylized naturalistic designs typically included: lotus, papyrus, palm, and hieroglyphics. All of which were creatively applied to wall paintings, tombs, steeles, and art or pottery. The sun disk appeared frequently over temple doors to protect them from harm and evil. The sacred scarab beetle, the guilloche, palmette and wave pattern appeared on much of the artwork and interiors of tombs and pyramids.

Table ware was made of pottery, alabaster, copper, bronze and gold and silver. All very bright and vibrant. The Egyptians always seemed to try and show a sense of pride and or hierarchy of their cultural and religious beliefs. Storage was usually jars, jugs, and bowls. Glassmaking began as a royal monopoly during the 18th dynasty. Vases were decorated and used for offering purposes and or funeral purposes.Motifs (Greek)
