The Official Gift in Ancient Egypt - Hardcover
Economic anthropology is used here to gain a fuller understanding of the long-standing practice of the official exchanging of gifts between individuals of unequal status ( inw -exchange). To overcome the problem of patchy and biased sources, the author first proposes a model to study this social obligation. This identifies reciprocity and redistribution at work, instead of the profit-making goal usually assumed active. A curious insight into cultural values of Ancient Egypt.

Book Description First edition, first printing hardback. SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR ON THE FFEP. Fine in Fine Jacket. A lovely copy, some light shelfwear. NOT a mangled ex-library copy. NOT a dreaded 'Good' or 'Acceptable' copy, since 'Good' is bookseller jargon for 'not so good', and nobody has any idea what 'Acceptable' means. Seller Inventory # 16594
