Sacred Adornment: Jewelry as Belief in Ancient Egypt
Humans throughout history and across cultures have worn jewelry and other adornments as a way to make themselves more attractive, identify social status, protect themselves from harm, and show connection to a group. This virtual tour focuses on a variety of decorative objects worn by the ancient Egyptians and what they reveal about religious beliefs. The presentation will include images of Egyptian necklaces, rings, and pendants in the Glencairn Museum collection. At the end of the presentation, participants are encouraged to share descriptions of their own personal adornments and what they hope to communicate by wearing them.
