And there is more: zar also used beaded jewellery as well as a wide range of other jewels.Currently, jewellery items with spirit images are sought-after collectors' items, present in collections of both private collectors and museums. These collections also hold a wide variety of other pieces called 'zar jewellery', and many jewellery pieces labelled 'zar' are available online. But what is 'zar jewellery', exactly With collectors, curators, historians and ethnographers in mind, Silver of the Possessed places jewellery of the Egyptian zar in its cultural and historical context. A catalogue of previously unpublished jewellery in private collections illustrates the changes in this jewellery over the course of nearly a century, while the book itself addresses Egyptian zar jewellery from multiple angles.First, it analyses how our current understanding of this jewellery has evolved through collecting and publishing.
