Info:
This exhibition assembles an array of sculpture in stone, wood, and precious metals, jewelry, and funerary items that bring to life the story of a single family as described in eight papyrus scrolls that were discovered in 1893 on Elephantine Island in the middle of the Nile River in Upper Egypt. They constitute the oldest surviving documentation that the diaspora settling of scattered colonies of Jews after the Babylonian exile of the 5th century BCEbrought some Jews back to their Egyptian "homeland."
