Scarabs
Percy E. Newberry · 1908
Percy E. Newberry’s illustrated 1908 reference work surveys Egyptian seals and signet rings: their forms, uses, materials, engraving methods and historical examples. This edition preserves the original text and presents its claims in their early twentieth-century scholarly context.
