The Statuary Project
The aim of our research is to advance the understanding of the private statuary practice in Deir el-Medina’s environment by regrouping and recontextualising the artefacts. Specifically, we are examining what tri-dimensional representations the artists designed, how they produced and used them, and why they did so.
Our Approach
We are currently cataloguing and analysing all New Kingdom statues of the village’s private individuals, held in museums worldwide or still on site, of secured or likely provenance. They are being examined for themselves but also through their textual, visual, and archaeological contexts.
