Anotations

Scope note:

Refers to the period in Egypt from about 1630 to 1532 BCE during the rule of the Asiatic Hyksos in the North. The period is characterized by Asiatic influences and technical innovations in bronze working and pottery. Little is known about major art and architecture except that the Hyksos kings preferred to usurp older statues and engrave their names on them.
