Deeply honoured to be presenting @McrMuseum #research on Graeco-Roman funerary art at the Bibliotheca Alexandrina @BA_Main_Egy on 8th March.
I look forward to meeting Egyptian & Egypt-based colleagues on my first-ever visit to Alexandria ♥️🇪🇬📚🏦
#GoldenMummies #Egyptology
Highlights of the year 2021: Seeing #GoldenMummies open in #China; becoming Chair @TheEES; delivering our first 'To Have and To Heal' sessions; finally giving a paper about #Thundercats. Very grateful for these opportunities 🙏🥰 and looking forward to 2022! 🥳✨
Revisiting glorious photos by @Tetisheri13 for #GoldenMummies - this of a helmet-like 1st Century(?) CE mummy mask from Hawara, showing a Graeco-Roman gilded face - but richly enshrouded in Pharaonic imagery. Notice the bronze eyelashes and goatee!😍
Join me this Thursday at 3pm for #Egyptology in #Lockdown @McrMuseum #Periscope - this week on #mummies.
Ancient intentions and modern fantasies. All questions welcome 👇
Thinking a lot about these Ptolemaic and Roman #terracotta figurines of #gods ... What they represent, their functions, settings and who might have interacted with them. #Egypt #Greece #Rome #multiculturalism
How do we recognise "play" in the ancient world? Children were likely more socialised with adults than today; most depictions of "games" (like this from the tomb of Baqet III at Beni Hasan, c. 2000 BCE) come from religious or funerary contexts. This ball is from Kahun #PlayMW
