520 |a "Published in conjunction with "A Bestiary of Ancient Nubia," a special exhibition of the Institute for the Study of Ancient Cultures at the University of Chicago, this sumptuously illustrated volume examines the many roles animals played in Nubian life, art, religion, and economy from prehistory through the medieval period. Ten scholarly essays, each focused on a different category of animals and the ways the ancient Nubians observed, depicted, and exploited them, illuminate the close and complex relationship between humans and the fauna and landscape of the Middle Nile Valley. The detailed catalog presents all the objects displayed in the exhibition. Together, the essays and catalog offer a thematic study and a visual record of Nubia's rich animal world"--  |c Provided by publisher.
