Product Description
Noted designer has drawn upon original ancient Egyptian sources for these working stencils: full-page images of gods and pharaohs, stylized floral patterns in large and small sizes, eagles, lions, ibis, scarabs, etc. 50 full-size stencils. Color illustrations on all four covers.
Ingram
In the 1970s, inspired by the magnificent treasures of Tutankhamen, artists and craftsmen began using Egyptian designs in high fashion, jewelry, fabric, needlework, wallpaper, and a host of other items. Noted graphic designer Theodore Menten adapted many of these ancient designs as stencils. Here are 50 working stencils which capture the strength, spirit, and essence of the originals, ready to be cut out and used.

an old friend returns,
By A Customer
This review is from: Ancient Egyptian Cut & Use Stencils (Paperback)
Bought this book several years ago, and used it for several very successful projects. Then I loaned it to someone who moved out of state with it and several others on Egyptian art(book theives are the lowest form of life). The only one I have not replaced, and have sorely missed, is this one. Anyone interested in Egyptian motifs and designs will find it a wonderful source of clear, readily usable outlines to work from.
