Speaker: Prof. dr. Kathrin Gabler TT 217, the tomb of the sculptor Ipuy, and the impact of Nina and Norman de Garis Davies In the early 20th century, Nina and Norman de Garis Davies showed a particular interest in the tomb of Ipuy at Deir el-Medina. TT 217 is famous for its extraordinary chapel in which several ancient crafts and professions are depicted in polychrome decoration. The unique and rarely painted scenes caught the special attention of the couple, who performed a first detailed study of the tomb shortly before and after the First World War. The presentation will summarise past and present work in the tomb complex TT 217, with a focus on the role of women researchers, exemplified by Nina de Garis Davies, and their work in Egyptology, about 100 years ago.
