‘How Did Ancient Egyptian Statues Work?’
SATURDAY 28TH JANUARY, 10 AM-4PM, THE GARSTANG MUSEUM OF ARCHAEOLOGY, 12-14 ABERCROMBY SQUARE,UNIVERSITY OF LIVERPOOL. L69 7WZ.
Presented by Dr Campbell Price
Statues were central to ancient Egyptian religion, but how did the Egyptians use and understand them? This day school will examine stylistic developments in sculptures of non-royal people, deities and kings, and address the meanings behind them through textual sources. We will also study the existence of portraiture, the role of sculptors and the rituals designed to bring statues to life. The collections of The Garstang Museum of Archaeology provide a valuable resource for this course.

I so wish this day school was nearer to me I often think about the meanings behind them and the rituals to bring the statue to life Chris
