"Egyptian Ornament" from Chapter II of "The Grammar of Ornament" by Owen Jones is a seminal work in the study and appreciation of Egyptian decorative arts and their influence on modern design principles. Published in 1856, "The Grammar of Ornament" was Jones's magnum opus, an exhaustive compendium of the world's decorative arts, meticulously illustrated and categorized to analyze the principles behind the use of ornamentation across different cultures and historical periods. In the chapter dedicated to Egyptian ornament, Jones delves into the aesthetics, symbolism, and techniques characteristic of Egyptian art, highlighting its profound emphasis on order, symmetry, and the symbolic representation of nature and the divine.

The introduction to Egyptian ornament in this chapter is both a scholarly exploration and a visual feast, featuring detailed illustrations of motifs and patterns derived from ancient Egyptian architecture, textiles, and manuscripts. Jones's analysis underscores the Egyptians' mastery of harmonious proportions and their sophisticated use of color, which he considered unparalleled in the ancient world. He also discusses the symbolic meanings embedded in Egyptian decorative motifs, such as the lotus flower representing creation and rebirth, and the scarab beetle symbolizing the sun and regeneration.

Jones's work on Egyptian ornament was groundbreaking in the 19th century, offering Western designers and architects a rich source of inspiration and a model for integrating historical and cultural elements into contemporary design. His meticulous documentation and analysis of Egyptian ornamentation played a crucial role in the revival of interest in Egyptian art during the Victorian era, influencing the aesthetics of the Arts and Crafts Movement and Art Nouveau.

The chapter on Egyptian ornament in "The Grammar of Ornament" remains a valuable resource for historians, designers, and artists, providing insights into the principles that governed ancient Egyptian art and its enduring influence on the decorative arts. Through his comprehensive study, Owen Jones not only preserved the legacy of Egyptian ornamentation but also laid the foundation for a more informed and respectful approach to incorporating historical design elements into modern creative work.
