Title: | On The Origin of The Royal False Beard and its Bovine Symbolism | Authors: | HENDRICKX, Stan De Meyer, M. EYCKERMAN, Merel |
Issue Date: | 2014 | Publisher: | Archaeologica foundation | Source: | Jucha, M.; Debowska-Luwin, J.; Kolodziejczyk, P. (Ed.). Aegyptus est imago cali. Studies presented to Krzysztof M. Cialowiccz on his 60th birthday, p. 129-143 | Abstract: | On Predynastic tusk figurines and human headed tags, long triangular beards are the essential identification for male representations. During Early Dynastic times, these beards tend to disappear and are generally replaced by shorter beards, regularly with an almost tubular extension below the chin. The latter is related to the royal beard although the two types can easily be differentiated because the sideboards of the royal beard indicate that it is artificial. A close relationship between the royal false beard and the so-called bull’s head amulet is proposed, allowing to consider the royal false beard as rooted in Predynastic bovine symbolism. | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/20567 | Link to publication/dataset: | https://www.academia.edu/13446958/Hendrickx_S._De_Meyer_M._and_Eyckerman_M._On_the_origin_of_the_royal_false_beard_and_its_bovine_symbolism_in_Jucha_M._Dębowska-Ludwin_J._and_Kołodziejczyk_P._eds._Aegyptus_est_imago_caeli._Studies_presented_to_Krzysztof_M._Ciałowicz_on_his_60th_birthday_Krakow_2014_129-143 | ISBN: | 9788394101008 | Rights: | © Copyright by Institute of Archaeology, Jagiellonian University in Kraków and Archaeologica Foundation | Category: | B2 | Type: | Book Section |
