So in this talk Jo focuses on the animals found within the ancient Egyptian world and within the Bolton collection.(free tea and coffee is included at this talk) Lecture 2"Pharaoh as Animal Hybrid" with Dr Campbell Price2pm - 3pmImages of the ancient Egyptian king could take on the divine qualities of certain animals, a quintessentially Egyptian response to the expression of royal power. This lecture examines the particular role of sphinxes and raptors to embody the king - and other royals - in Pharaonic art and religion.(free tea and coffee is included at this talk) Lecture 3"Re-rolling and Animal Mummy" with Dr Cambell Price and Dr Lidija McKnight6pm - 7pmHow did the ancient Egyptians create the standardised forms and elaborate decorative designs that we see in museums today? Using knowledge gained through the radiographic study of ancient mummies, join Campbell and Lidija as they attempt to wrap a modern animal mummy.(free tea and coffee is included, and a pay-bar is available at this talk)
