An Egyptian Mummified Crocodile from the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra National Preserve (Ukraine)

To the Interpretation of Images on the Amulets-Pendants of the 4th Cent. BC from Pisochynsky Burial Ground
The paper provides an analysis of the iconography and semantics of two ancient Egyptian amulets-pendants made of “Egyptian faience” found in the Scythian female burial No. 1 of mound No. 8 of the Pisochynsky burial ground (Kharkiv region).

Faience amulets were suspende…
Egyptian Imports of 6th Century BC in the Materials of Forest-Steppe Scythia
For burial complexes of the 7th – 6th c. BC on the territory of Forest-Steppe Scythia some types of beads are quite common. These are usually referred to as being made of “Egyptian” faience. They are mainly represented by beads of various shapes, as well as less common conical-shaped “beads-rosettes”. The site of production of the former is difficult to establish, but for the latter, the territory of Transcaucasia is determined. Their appearance …

Some Remarks to the Semantics of Image of Deity on the Coffin of Sepi III (Cairo CG 28083)
The problem of the iconography of a unique image of a deity drawn on the Middle Kingdom rectangular coffin of Sepi III (Cairo CG 28083; B1C; Deir el-Bersha; CT VI, 386) is discussed in the article. It is possible that the god is the first known image of the syncretic double god Re-Osiris. The deity (with a head unusually for Egyptian iconography unfolded in full face) is shown sitting on a throne with the inscription “millions (of years)”. The im…
