The Hunterian has in its stores a male and two female figurines created in Egypt in the Predynastic Period (c. 3400 BCE) which are not generally known to scholarship. Research on such figurines has traditionally focused on the meaning of their not-quite human form and their potential religious significance. Thanks to the support of a Chancellor’s Fund award and working with Dr Louisa Campbell in Archaeology and her CHARMS initiative, scientific analysis is underway and might be the key to unlocking some of the figurines’ secrets.

Angela McDonald is a Senior Lecturer in Egyptology at the University of Glasgow, based in Classics. Her research focuses on the Egyptian script, but she has worked closely with The Hunterian on their Egyptology collection. She also works in Karnak Temple with the Karnak Graffiti Project.
