| Abstract | ||||
| One of the signs of the leadership of ancient Egyptian civilization is that it continued with its intellectual and cultural output through various historical periods and ancient civilizations, all the way to contemporary history. A close examination of certain artistic patterns in contemporary society may trace their cultural roots back to the artistic styles that emerged in ancient Egyptian art, indicating the continuity of that civilization and its constants, as well as its impact on contemporary history. Researchers have noted one of the possessions of Queen Farida, which is a brooch in the shape of a bunch of grapes. This sparked the idea for a research study that traces this artistic element, "the bunch of grapes," and its origins from ancient Egyptian civilization through the Graeco- Roman periods, then to Coptic art, until it reached Islamic art, and how it has continued as an artistic heritage in contemporary history. Therefore, the study aims to utilize grapes as an artistic heritage that emerged and evolved across different periods, remaining as a cultural legacy. The study also aims to highlight the aesthetic values of various artistic pieces designed by artists in the form of grape clusters or depicted or carved by them, which varied among textiles, wood, tiles, pottery, jewelry, decorative elements in architecture, funerary paintings, lamps, and coins. Additionally, the study seeks to present the religious and worldly symbolism of grapes from ancient Egyptian times to contemporary society. | ||||
