The iconography of the female procession scene in the Chapel of the Exodus from Al-Bagawat necropolis in Egypt: sources and parallels
The paper tries to analyse and reconstruct the iconography of the female procession scene in the painting ensemble of the so called “Chapel of the Exodus” (Early Christian mausoleum from Al-Bagawat necropolis in the Egyptian oasis of Kharga, IV AD). The features of the image allow to match it to a big range of Early Christian procession scenes, with similar iconography, but from the other epochs and regions. This comparison allows to suggest the common source of this type of iconography.
