Female figurines" are small statuettes representing women, most of the time naked and possibly accompanied by a child. Known since Predynastic times, they are found in houses, inside or in the vicinity of sacred spaces, or in graves (of men, women and children). Of course, many of them also come from secondary contexts, i.e. trash pits. They were long taken for "concubines of the deceased", for dolls, or for images of goddesses, until Geraldine Pinch, in her book Votive Offerings to Hathor, presented these objects as being linked to rites promoting fertility, and also defined a first typology.

Egyptian filmmaker Mohamed Diab began his journey in the industry after realizing that working in finance was not his path. He pursued his passion for screenwriting bygd moving to America and attending the New York Film Academy nearly seventeen years ago. Diab would eventually return to Egypt with his directorial debut Cairo 678 in 2010. His career then took shape as a run of independent films that specifically concerned pressing issues in Egypt, such as Clash which opened the “Un Certain Regarde” section at the 2016 Cannes rulle Festival and captures the fall of the 2011 political revolution. His next film Amira would go on to win 3 awards at the 2021 Venice bio Festival. Now, Mohamed Diab and his long-time writer-producer partner and wife Sarah Goher have struck gold in the Hollywood sphere for the very first with Marvel Studios’ Moon Knight.
