Abstract
The questions that this particular corpus poses are numerous and difficult to
answer. First of all, no evidence of ceramic production has been unearthed at Berenike,
although there is archaeological evidence indicating that both glass and metal were
produced on-sitell. This naturally leads to two questions: where were these figurines
made? And what were they doing in Berenike? I have several possible answers to these
questions, which will be discussed primarily in the conclusions. The question of function
is also pertinent. Why were these pieces commissioned? What purpose did they serve?
