Event Details
Today, we wear jewellery to enhance and adorn. But this wasn’t so for ancient Egyptians, who wore jewellery for religious and functional reasons.
This culminates the trio of talks given by author and speaker Justin Newland in Somerset this spring.
In this one, he explores armbands and ankle bands, pectorals and diadems, and celebrates the wonder and mystery of jewellery in ancient Egypt. It will appeal to the art lover, the student of history, those fascinated by Egypt, or anyone curious about the enigmas of life. Suitable for those aged 16 and over.
Justin Newland is an entertaining speaker who has given over 70 talks to local societies in and around the South West. He’s also the author of The Genes of Isis, an epic story set under ancient Egyptian skies, and five other historical fiction novels, with another to be published in July. Justin holds a Ph.D. from Imperial College, London,and liveswith his lady in plain sight of the Mendip Hills in Somerset.
