Egyptian decorative art : a course of lectures delivered at the Royal Institution /by W.M. Flinders Petrie
Lectures on Egyptian ornament given at the Royal Institution by the archaeologist Flinders Petrie, published by Methuen in London in 1920 for students of design and antiquity. Line drawings trace motifs through their variants — scarab-back spiral mazes, lotus and papyrus forms, woven patterns — giving designers compact black-line units that tile, rotate and repeat inside oval or rectangular frames.
