Mid-1920s 'restoration' and consolidation of the Great Sphinx of Giza, undertaken by an Egyptian team led by French archaeologist Emile Baraize. Having been buried by sand for centuries there was real concern the colossal limestone head would collapse #ThrowbackThursday

Really very proud of everyone Manchester Museum, past and present, for creating such a stimulating place to work. Asking questions. Exploring complexities. Expect more of that... theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/m…

EGYPT. Cairo. Zamalek. School where future Art teachers are formed. Abbas Attar, 1987. #FacesFriday

A selection of faces I encountered in #Mannheim last week. I'll let you guess my favourite/the most terrifying... #FacesFriday

Tomorrow! 🎟️🥳🦁

4300 year old painted limestone statue of Memi, a 'pure priest of the king'. From Giza, Western Cemetery. Now in the collection Roemer- und Pelizaeus-Museum (RPM) & on display at the Reiss Engelhorn Museum in Mannheim. #StatueSunday

4000 year old painted inscription of the name of the jackal god Anubis ('Inpu') from the box coffin of the general Sepi, from Deir el Bersha in Middle #Egypt.

Next Wednesday!

Highlight of week: examining Zuleika Channell's superb University of Liverpool PhD on artistic forms in the hieroglyphs on Middle Kingdom coffins, including Manchester Museum's 'Two Brothers' group. Congratulations Dr Channell! 🥳 (We found an Egyptian flag in a pub to pose with! 🇪🇬♥️)

For #FacesFriday, a juxtaposition of a 3500 year old relief & statue fragment, both assumed to be Amenhotep I. W.C. Hayes, 1946: "the prominent, arched nose, the small, tight mouth, the hard, narrow eyes... the clearly defined face of a man of action, a fighter, and an autocrat"

A great book!

On #StatueSunday I want to share this stupendously decorated kilt from a limestone statue of the Emperor Commodus(?) assimilated with Hercules, now in Heidelberg. A wonderful example of the divine ruler in Roman Egypt, positively dripping with rich symbolism 🤓✨
