At the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, an ancient civilization in what is now Sudan steps out of the shadows, thanks to a major show full of surprises. By Melik Kaylan
Boston
Most people think of ancient Nubia, if they think of it at all, as a poor imitation and perpetual vassal of Pharaonic Egypt. Archaeological discoveries in recent decades have proved them wrong, incrementally revealing magnificent kingdoms. The show at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, titled “Ancient Nubia Now” aims to redress the balance further. As it should, since the MFA to some degree helped create that initial impression based on its foundational series of digs with Harvard University between 1913 and 1932, led by the famed George Andrew Reisner of Harvard. To this day, those finds constitute the greatest collection of Nubian artifacts outside of Sudan, the African nation whose upper-Nile region incorporates Nubia of old. So when the museum mounts a major exhibition of 430 choicest pieces out of some 25,000 in its vaults, the result turns out predictably spectacular and full of resplendent surprises.
What it doesn’t attempt to do is to tell ancient Nubia’s full story from its earliest beginnings, which predate Egypt’s and go back to circa 5000 B.C. as full story from its earliest beginnings, which predate Egypt’s and go back to circa 5000 B.C. as demonstrated by early rock paintings. Nor does the show address claims that Nubians ushered in Africa’s first iron age (c. 1000 B.C.). Rather, it concentrates on civilizational peaks through a reinterpretation of the best material from the Reisner years while illuminating the excavation process, the early photography, the locals who participated, the difficult conditions and why Reisner arrived at his premature conclusions. For example, he thought the great early Nubian capital of Kerma was a mere Egyptian outpost. To be fair to him, he had to unearth a culture lacking its own script until classical times while working in remote deserts in blinding sandstorms with 120 degree heat. Meanwhile, already extant Egyptian hieroglyphics had chronicles aplenty of subject Nubians, which, in hindsight, we can now construe better as Pharaonic propaganda.
The show is organized into four sections, each illustrating a major phase of Nubian history chiefly centered on the three powerful Nubian city-states of Kerma (2400-1550 B.C.), Napata (750-332 B.C.) and Meroë (332 B.C.-A.D. 364) with an in-between section devoted to the Egyptian occupation of Nubia (15501070 B.C.). The very first objects on view tell us that Kerma evolved its own indigenous craft techniques and aesthetics. Earthenware pots with glowing, seemingly ####llic glazes that look ultramodern. Deep-blue faiences as yet beyond the ken of Egypt.At its peak around 1700 B.C., Kerma was a vast kingdom stretching from the Nile into central Africa and the Red Sea. The city itself grew to include palaces, temples, tombs and extensive suburbs ensconced in green fields. At the end, occupied by invading Egyptians, overcome by desert sands, scoured by ancient looters, not much was left. Most of the artifacts here are fragmentary clues to lost glory, exquisite pieces of jewelry, etched mica and ivory. We learn that they didn’t mummify dead kings Pharaoh-style but placed them sideways on a leather cot, so they faded away, along with hundreds of servants sacrificed to serve them after death.
The era of Egyptian occupation shows aesthetics changing and the two cultures blending. Hieroglyphics appear on Kerma’s temple walls. Some Nubian officials flourish at the top of Pharaonic bureaucracy; the entire loincloth of one is the section’s star attraction. Other Nubians are depicted as slaves bearing gold, Nubia’s big export. But the real feast begins with the section on Napata. In this more southerly location on the Nile, Nubia (now known as Kush to Egyptians) makes its comeback, starts building its own pyramids, and even rules Egypt for a century.We see a gorgeous display of toilette pieces from the Napata royal women’s tombs. Amulets, bronze mirrors, a pair of huge stone eyes, full-size royal stone statues and funerary jars all prick the imagination. An utterly peerless gold-silver collarstyle necklace bewitches us, perhaps the finest object throughout. Nubians learn to use hieroglyphics and finally tell their own story. (We learn how they revered their mothers.) A statuette of the great King Taharqa, ruler of both kingdoms, patently wants to show us that Nubian Pharaohs were shaped differently. He is likely the Tirhakah mentioned in the Old Testament as ally of Judea against Assyria. Enchanting “Shawabty” figurines appear on the scene, sometimes buried by the thousands with kings, perfectly carved in Pharaoh shapes, ready to bring produce in from Elysian fields. The show suddenly abounds with them. Desertification and conquest overtook Napata, too, so the culture moved further south to Meroë, ancient Nubia’s classical-era capital, crossroads of multiple trade routes.
Meroite monarchs built hundreds of pyramids. Queens often ruled; one famously fought invading Roman armies to a stalemate. Nubia finally acquired its own (Meroitic) script, incredibly enough still undeciphered, though we see large royal steles densely inscribed with it. Roman bronze objects and a silver Neronian wine cup tell of fertile cultural contacts. As does an astonishing fifth-century B.C. Athenian painted black cup set in a stone horse-and-rider sculpture signed by the famed potter Sodates. From Athens, likely via Persia, it traveled for a century to a Meroitic royal child’s tomb and ultimately to the Boston museum where its eloquent history remains intact.
