7. Ancient Egypt
Wood Metal & Stone
Anatoly "Tony" Vanetik
Stone statues were commonly carved intricately, then painted to
appear more lifelike.
Woodworking was more varied, in that carved pieces were created to
depict scenery and highranking members of society, as well as used
for coffins and tombs. These were often encrusted with metal and
jewels and made incredibly ornate with paintings and hieroglyphs.
Metalworking in Egypt was primarily used as jewelry, and was
reserved for those in higher society.
