Join Egyptologist Jen Thum for an engaging look at the results of new research on the tomb relief of Ptahshepses Impy, an Egyptian official. Thum will explore the implications of this research, including possible changes to the display of the relief to indicate missing portions.

Ptahshepses Impy’s tomb relief was the subject of the museums’ very first virtual Art Talk in May 2020. We’ll review what we knew then and what we know now. This talk will give us all a chance to know Ptahshepses
