Gold necklace with pendant of the goddess Sekhmet, 570–526 B.C.E. (The Penn Museum)

Discover the fascinating world of ancient Egypt in programs that explore the daily life, culture, and innovations of one of the world’s most influential civilizations. Scholar Shelby Justl of the Penn Museum in Philadelphia draws on the discoveries of ongoing archaeological explorations and experimental archaeology to bring to life the rich history of Egypt and its expanding role on the global stage.

Session Information

Ancient Egyptian Adornments

Clothing, makeup, jewelry, and perfume were part of the lives of both Egyptian women and men. Justl recounts her research into a special delivery of gold and semiprecious stones to the ancient town of Wah-sut, a site of Penn Museum excavations, and the results of her experimental archaeology work in recreating a lily perfume from an ancient recipe.
