Michael Backman: Art History & Material Culture
Michael Backman in conversation with Author Dr Sigrid van Roode about her new book on the jewellery of the Zar Cult of Egypt

Michael Backman
Dr Sigrid van Roode discusses her research into the Zar spirit possession cult of Egypt - a relatively new cult that emerged at the end of 19th century and still has many practitioners. The cult gave rise to the need for a specific form of jewellery - a practice that has only recently died out.
