Why were other sculpted body parts, including eyes, mouths, arms, and feet, purposely shattered in antiquity? Focusing on the ancient world of the pharaohs and on the Late Antique world that emerged following Egyptian conversion to Christianity, Edward Bleiberg will examine the patterns of damage inflicted on Egyptian images for personal, political, religious, and criminal reasons. He will also highlight how close inspection of statue damage can reveal who damaged the statue and why.</div><div>	 </div><p>	<a href="https://www.google.com/maps/place/52%20Oxford%20St.%20Garage/@42.379823,-71.1179754,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x89e37740b7278721:0xc4afb229b3ca67be!8m2!3d42.3801916!4d-71.1157009?hl=en"><span>Free event parking at the 52 Oxford Street Garage</span></a></p><h2>	<strong>Livestreaming:</strong></h2><p>	This event will be livestreamed on the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/harvardmuseumsofscienceandculture">Harvard Museums of Science &amp; Culture (HMSC) Facebook page</a> and the <a href="https://hmsc.harvard.edu/live">HMSC website</a>.
