In the excavated tombs of Egypt, archaeologists found turquoise scarabs, jewelry, and small images of people and animals which had been formed of a soft plastic material. AMACO has duplicated this plastic medium and has named it Egyptian Paste.

Like the original composition, this clay is a low fire, self-glazing body. It is available in dry form only with complete directions. Objects may be shaped by any hand method or pressed in molds. When fired at Cone 06 (1855°F, 1013°C), the colors develop with a gloss and often times crackle finish. Egyptian Paste is available in a one pound box. The colors Blue and Mauve are available in a five pound box while supplies last.
