From the rich collections of glass plaques and inlays of the Egyptian Museum in Florence, a group of glass inlays representing parts of the body have been selected for analysis; among these also six hieroglyphs in red, blue and green glass. The large naturalistically molded pieces - faces, arms and hands - were produced for use as inlays in figured scene, fitted together and inlaid into hollows in the wood ground of household furnishings, coffins and sacred shrines. All the inlays, now divorced from their original settings, are in monochrome opaque glass in red, light turquoise-blue, light blue, blue, green and black.

Abstract

From the rich collections of glass plaques and inlays of the Egyptian Museum in Florence, a group of glass inlays representing parts of the body have been selected for analysis; among these also six hieroglyphs in red, blue and green glass. The large naturalistically molded pieces - faces, arms and hands - were produced for use as inlays in figured scene, fitted together and inlaid into hollows in the wood ground of household furnishings, coffins and sacred shrines. All the inlays, now divorced from their original settings, are in monochrome opaque glass in red, light turquoise-blue, light blue, blue, green and black.
