Location: Koret Auditorium
Much of the spectacular jewelry we know from ancient Egypt was found in tombs. But are these necklaces, bracelets, and rings intended specifically for use only in the afterlife? Did their owners use some or all of these pieces during their lifetimes? If so, were any of the pieces used for specific ceremonies? This presentation will explore the meaning and function of the exquisite pieces of jewelry found in the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco's exhibition Ramses the Great and the Gold of the Pharaohs.
This lecture will be presented by Dr. Diana Craig Patch, Lila Acheson Wallace Curator in Charge of Egyptian Art at The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
