The Met's distinguished holdings of Egyptian art and artifacts comprise some 26,000 objects crafted between the Paleolithic and Roman periods (ca. 300,000 B. C.-4th century A. D.). From the beloved blue-glazed faience hippo known as "William©" to an exquisite gold, carnelian, turquoise, and lapis lazuli collar (332-246 B. C.) and a remarkably preserved Roman-period mummy mask (A. D. 60-70), this deck presents select highlights and hidden gems of the Museum's renowned Department of Egyptian Art.
