Clay figurines in the GEM

In November, project members Georgia Long, Beatriz Noria-Serrano, and Gianluca Miniaci carried out documentation work on clay figurines at the newly inaugurated Grand Egyptian Museum.

The museum houses an outstanding collection of female figurines, as well as some animal figurines, many of which were previously kept at the Egyptian Museum, Tahrir (Cairo). These objects are now beautifully displayed in the new setting in Giza, offering fresh perspectives on their material, form, and cultural significance.
