Under the Potter's Tree
Studies on Ancient Egypt Presented to Janine Bourriau on the Occasion of her 70th Birthday
editors:
Summary:
This book presents fifty wide-ranging articles written by various
international scholars in honour of Janine Bourriau. In date these studies
range from the Predynastic Period to the Twentieth Century AD and cover
all aspects of Egyptology. As is to be expected most deal with the topic
for which Janine is most famous - ceramic studies. These include items on
miniature pots, Aswan flasks, fish dishes, Bes vases, embalming caches,
terracotta figurines, copies of ceramic vessels in glass, stone and metal,
painted pottery, depictions of vases in Egyptian reliefs, newly excavated
ceramic material, and the influence of Egyptian motifs on pottery of the
Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries AD.
However as a token of Janine's wide-ranging enthusiasm for her chosen career, there are also articles which consider hair combs, soul houses, stelae, coffins, Nubia, the dormitian of princess Meketaten, the length of the reign of Seti I, Late Period names, Ancient Egyptian science, Petrie's unpublished archives and Luxor geology.
