DESCRIPTION:-------- WEDS TALKS: MIRRORING THE GODS: SYMMETRICAL SCENES IN 
 KUSHITE ROYAL  ART [1] ---------------------------------------------------
 ----------\n\n**\n\n*ABSTRACT: *This presentation examines the frequent us
 e of symmetrical  offering scenes in Kushite royal art from the Napatan Pe
 riod. In this  artistic arrangement, a scene is divided in half verticall
 y, and the section  on the right reflects that on the left with mirrored 
 symmetry. However,  certain visual and textual elements are intentionally
  differentiated from  their counterpart on the other side. I argue that th
 is arrangement is  intended to depict and describe the two complementary h
 alves of each Kushite  ruler and the kingdom itself, an idea arising duri
 ng the Twenty-Fifth  Dynasty’s control over both Nubia and Egypt as one “D
 ouble Kingdom.”  These pieces suggest a new kind of dual kingship, where 
 one Kushite ruler  embodies both “ruler of Kush” and “ruler of Egypt” and 
 envisions each  land as equal constituent parts in one kingdom.\n\n*BIO**:
 * Christopher Cox is an Egyptologist and Nubiologist who studies the  anci
 ent Nubian Kingdom of Kush, Nubians in ancient Egyptian society, and the
   reception of ancient Egypt and Nubia by Black people since the 18th cent
 ury.  He obtained his PhD in Egyptology from Brown University in 2025, MA
  in  Africana Studies from Brown in 2022, and BA from Whitman College in 
 2018. He  is currently a President's Postdoctoral Fellow at UCLA.\n\nDate:
