Nubia's trade network reached across the Mediterranean and far into Africa. At the time that Nubian kings conquered Egypt, in the middle of the eighth century BCE, they controlled one of the largest empires of the ancient world.0The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, has the most extensive and important collection of ancient Nubian art outside of Khartoum, mostly gathered during the pioneering Harvard University?Boston Museum of Fine Arts Expedition in the first half of the 20th century. The objects highlighted in this volume include refined early ceramics, monumental statues and relief carvings made for royal pyramids, exquisite gold and enamel jewelry, playful decorations for furniture and clothing, and luxury goods traded from around the Mediterranean world. 651 0 $a Nubia $x Antiquities $v Catalogs. 610 20 $a Museum of Fine Arts, Boston $v Catalogs. 700 1 $a Freed, Rita E., $e contributor. 700 1 $a Berman, Lawrence Michael, $d 1952- $e contributor. 830 0 $a MFA highlights. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191213020502.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=22A2E7FA2E9411E9B5CB1E4197128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
