{"product_id":"die-gottin-mrt-9789004088146","title":"Die Göttin Mr.t.","description":"Among the numerous deities invested with special spheres of responsibility in ancient Egypt \u003ci\u003eMr.t\u003c\/i\u003e is charged with the salutation of the deity (king or god) and the provision of cult-music. Since there is no lack of source material relating to the goddess from all periods right down to Roman times, \u003ci\u003eMr.t\u003c\/i\u003e readily provides an exemplary demonstration of a minor deity's transformation through time. Her original deification must have taken place during the 4th and 5th dynasties when the chorus designated \u003ci\u003eMr.t\u003c\/i\u003e came to be personified as the ritual figure \"\u003ci\u003eMr.t\u003c\/i\u003e upon the house of Gold\" at the Hebsed and the first \"Priests-of-\u003ci\u003eMr. t\u003c\/i\u003e\"-titles appeared. To the characteristic iconography, tress of hair and special gesture taken over from the chorus by the deity more symbols came to be added: the mysterious House of Gold, the place where statues were fashioned; the heraldic plants of Upper and Lower Egypt; and, in Ptolemaic times, the harp.","brand":"Guglielmi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48308330561787,"sku":"9789004088146","price":366.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/9789004088146.jpg?v=1772491039","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/die-gottin-mrt-9789004088146","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
