Burial and Mortuary Practices in Late Period and Graeco-Roman Egypt (Budapest, Hungary, 2014)

Burial and Mortuary Practices in Late Period and Graeco-Roman EgyptInternational Conference organised by the Egyptian Department of the
Museum of Fine Arts, Budapest, and held on 17–19 July 2014The
aim of the Conference was to present and discuss recent
research and current themes on (human and animal) Egyptian burial and mortuary practices from the Late Period onwards.Presented paper: Ptah-Sokar-Osiris figures: evolving tradition through space and timeWooden
funerary figures representing the deceased with the features of the
triune god Ptah-Sokar-Osiris became a distinctive element in the
funerary furniture of elite burials dating from the Third Intermediate
Period onwards. Such artefacts,
usually placed next to the coffin and inscribed with specific
invocations, were considered an element of deep connection with the
deceased, granting her/him resurrection and life everlasting beyond
death. The custom of placing Ptah-Sokar-Osiris figures inside the tombs
reaches a climax during the Late and Ptolemaic periods during which they
were often mass-produced, falling eventually into disuse with the
approaching of the Roman era. During this time frame, Ptah-Sokar-Osiris
figures are subject to changes in typology, style and religious
significance. This
paper, taking into account geographical and chronological factors,
intended to present a brief analysis of these changes, focusing on the
morphological, structural, and typological aspects involved in this
evolution. https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8183-8483

"埃及后王朝时期与希腊罗马时代的丧葬与殡葬实践"国际会议由布达佩斯美术博物馆（Museum of Fine Arts, Budapest）埃及学部主办，于2014年7月17日至19日举行。
本次会议旨在展示并研讨后王朝时期（Late Period）以来埃及（涵盖人类与动物）丧葬与殡葬实践的最新研究成果与前沿议题。

本次提交的主题论文为《普塔-索卡尔-奥西里斯（Ptah-Sokar-Osiris）造像：跨越时空的传统演变》：以三合一神祇普塔-索卡尔-奥西里斯的形象塑造逝者的木质丧葬造像，自第三中间期（Third Intermediate Period）起，成为精英墓葬丧葬器物中的标志性组成部分。这类器物通常置于棺椁旁，刻有专属祷文，被视为与逝者建立深度精神联结的载体，可助其死后复活并获得永生。将普塔-索卡尔-奥西里斯造像置入墓葬的习俗，在后王朝时期与托勒密时期（Ptolemaic periods）达到鼎盛，此阶段造像多为批量生产，最终随着罗马时代的临近逐渐被弃用。在此时期范围内，普塔-索卡尔-奥西里斯造像在类型学、风格与宗教意义层面均发生了演变。本论文结合地理与年代学因素，对这类演变展开简要分析，重点聚焦于该演化过程中涉及的形态学、结构学与类型学维度。
