Studying jewellery and jewelled objects, this incorporates weapons, cult statues, mirrors and musical instruments.

How the ancient Egyptians acquired and worked the raw materials will also be considered. This includes a wealth of information from tomb scenes, illustrating workshops. The contexts of major finds of jewellery and bejewelled objects will be explored, from the Predynastic to the end of the Middle Kingdom. The symbolism of the objects will be explored and we will learn to read the iconography.

This ticket is for one lecture.

Articles and links will be sent out after the lecture as appropriate.
