Ancient Egyptian art included tomb paintings, statues, and jewelry. Tomb paintings depicted figures and hieroglyphics in profile and showed the pharaoh as larger. Statues included magical shabti figures placed in coffins and carvings of wood, stone, and precious metals. Jewelry was crafted from gold, lapis lazuli, faience, beads, and silver. Coffins were typically wood or pottery, sometimes inlaid with gold or made of pure gold for wealthy Egyptians. A timeline outlines the early dynasties and construction of pyramids at Giza and use of hieroglyphics from pre-dynastic times.
