What was it like to be a goldsmith in acient Egypt?

Answer 1

In ancient Egypt goldsmiths belonged to the middle class. Their status was related to the patron for whom they worked which might include the Pharaoh, the temple builders or the upper class. Gold was primarily used for objects of personal adornment and as a decorative coating (leaf) on objects of copper or wood. Goldsmiths were usually born into the trade as the skills were passed down within families. More rarely, a boy from outside the family would be apprenticed to the trade. Craftsmen in metal generally did not restrict their production to one metal, such as gold, but would likely have also worked other metals such as silver, bronze and copper.
