Lecturer: Solange Ashby
Some of the most exquisite and skillfully crafted jewelry of the ancient world comes from Nubia, a region spanning southern Egypt and northern Sudan. Egyptologist Solange Ashby takes a closer look at adornments worn by priestesses and queens who often served in ritual roles associated with the goddess Hathor. Ashby provides historical and religious context for stunning gold objects excavated in Sudan in the early 20th century, including pieces displayed in the exhibition Nubia: Jewels of Ancient Sudan from the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
