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.
