Women of Nubia: Earthly Representatives of the Goddess

With Solange Ashby, President’s Postdoctoral Fellow, University of California, Los Angeles

This lecture will explore the women of Nubia—priestesses, queens, and goddesses—as they are depicted in the artifacts on display. Royal women often served as manifestations of the goddess Hathor, whose iconography is present on many protective amulets buried with Nubian queens.
