The works here demonstrate the basic principles of Egyptian sculpture
in its symbolic formality. For over three thousand years the Egyptians
adhered to a prescribed set of rules as to how a work of art in three
dimensions should be presented. Egyptian art was highly symbolic and a
painting or sculpture was not meant to be a record of a momentary
impression.
