Gifts for the Gods is an enlightening and richly illustrated book
on animal mummies from ancient Egypt. Introducing readers to the
wealth of animal mummies in British museums and private
collections, this fascinating collection focuses on the prevalent
type of animal mummy to be found in Britain: the votive offering.
In a series of chapters written by experts in their field, Gifts
for the Gods details the role of animals in ancient Egypt and in
museum collections. It concentrates on the unique relationship of
British explorers, travellers, archaeologists, curators and
scientists with this material. The book describes a best-practice
protocol for the scientific study of animal mummies by the Ancient
Egyptian Animal Bio Bank team, whilst acknowledging that the
current research represents only the beginning of a much larger
task.
