Meroitic pottery from more than 35 sites, especially cemeteries, in Upper and Lower Nubia is analysed in terms of the types of the motifs present and their frequencies, followed by an interpretation of their significance in religious terms, beyond being purely decorative features. The author identifies underlying religious symbolism in many decorative schemes, primarily taking the form of deities and representations of amulets, and a fundamental concern for fertility, life, birth, regeneration, eternity and protection in life and death.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 192\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.52 x 11.69 x 8.27 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 31, 2004\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48821290598649,"sku":"9781841713779","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/Iqtyf9C_pk9781841713779.webp?v=1786779328","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/religious-motifs-in-meroitic-painted-and-stamped-pottery-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
