Abstract:
The North Carolina Museum of Art’s statue of Bacchus is a composite of two ancient fragments that were assembled along with other baroque additions. The discovery was initially made in 1958 and it was never displayed as a result. A derestoration is planned over the next couple of years. The torso is one of only four other Roman imperial-period torsos known to exist and is from 2nd century, the head of Bacchus is from the 1st-3rd century and belonged to a Roman statue of a Greek Dionysos, and the left arm, hand, and some supports are baroque additions and will be removed eventually.

Abstract:
The Museum recently acquired the false door from the tomb of the Egyptian Ni-ankh-Snefru, known as Fefi. Fefi was a lector priest, Overseer of the Two Cool Rooms of the Great House, Overseer of the Pyramid Complex Menefer-Pepy, and a courtier of the royal house. The false door was a painting or sculpted relief representing a door that served as a passageway for the ka(soul) of the deceased to travel freely between the tomb and the afterlife. A description of the door, Fefi, and ancient Egyptian burial practices is detailed.

Abstract:
The Egyptian collection at the Museum was recently reorganized and updated after over 20 years on display. This reinstallation has allowed for updated educational material to be produced, a rearrangement of the objects into a thematic display, and for new items to be added to the display. The gallery’s reorganized display cases now introduce three important themes: The Afterlife and Funerary Practices, Gods and Goddesses of Ancient Egypt, and Artisan Craft and Technology.

The Prudhoe Lion, a statue of King Tutankhamun, and a statue of Amenhotep III all have the history of their creation, their importance, and their acquisition described.
