Leatherwork from Qasr Ibrim (Egypt). Part I: Footwear from the Ottoman Period André J. Veldmeijer Throughout its long history, stretching from the 25th Dynasty (c. 752-656 BC) to the Ottoman Period (c. 1500-1811 AD), Qasr Ibrim was one of the most important settlements in Egyptian Nubia. The site has produced an unprecedented wealth of material and due to the – even for Egypt – extraordinary preservation circumstances, includes objects that are made of perishable organic materials, such as wood, leather, and flax. The present volume focuses on one of these groups: footwear that is made from leather and dated to the Ottoman Period. More Information / Buy this book

Tutankhamun’s Footwear. Studies of Ancient Egyptian Footwear André J. Veldmeijer The discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb by Howard Carter in 1922 is one of the most significant archaeological discoveries of all time.
