The tomb of Tutankhamun has yielded the largest collection of clothing and footwear from ancient Egypt. Dr Gillian Bowen will examine items of the Boy King's wardrobe, from underwear to formal attire and shoes, and discuss the textile industry and range of materials used.

Dr Gillian Bowen is the Senior lecturer in Archaeology and Ancient History at Monash University. Gillian studies textiles and footwear from Monash's excavations in Dakhleh Oasis, Egypt, and the textile industry on the basis of documents found there. She also conducts excavations in Dakhleh Oasis, with a focus upon early Christian sites.
