Este libro de Richard H. Wilkinson, profesor de egiptología de la Universidad de Arizona, constituye una excelente introducción al lenguaje simbólico de los jeroglíficos. Está concebido como una guía de los signos más utilizados en la pintura y la escultura egipcias, organizados temáticamente, con la descripción y explicación de sus distintos significados, y acompañado de magníficas ilustraciones. Se trata, en definitiva, de una herramienta indispensable para contemplar el arte egipcio de forma más próxima a como lo hacían los antiguos egipcios.
