Keynote A box set containing the Object in Focus titles on five of the most famous and iconic objects at the British Museum 'Objects in Focus' is an innovative series of short, accessible books which serve as general introductions by telling the story of one key object Sales points Evocative stories about where the objects came from, the hands they passed through before reaching the Museum, and their artistic and historical significance Elegantly and spaciously designed, and including historical images placing the objects in all their contexts With individual Object in Focus titles retailing at £5.00, this box set represents hugely good value and is a superb gift or souvenir Description of each title/object The Rosetta Stone contains a decree written three times in Greek, Demotic and hieroglyphic that provided the key to deciphering the mysterious hieroglyphic script of ancient Egypt, and opened up 3,000 years of that country's history and culture. The Gayer-Anderson Cat has been one of the most admired objects at the British Museum since its arrival in 1947.
