Hardback
Description
This catalog presents the entire corpus of 272 baked clay figurines and votive beds excavated at Medinet Habu by the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago during their 1926-1933 campaign.
The figurines represent women, women with children, men, deities, and animals.
They date from the sixteenth century B.C. to the ninth century A.D., illustrating permanence and change in themes of clay figurines as well as stylistic development within each type.
The group of votive beds and the stela made from votive bed molds is among the largest and most diverse collections of such material.
Each object is fully described and illustrated and is accompanied by commentary on construction, symbolism, and function.
