Abstract
In chapter 3, Pehal discusses some of the personalized religious objects found in ancient Egypt. He describes the Egyptian's "aggregate" concept of personhood and demonstrates how these religious objects, including the bodies of the dead, came to be personalized through certain rituals.
This chapter transitions from the more general discussions found in chapters 1 and 2 and provides a very concrete example of how personalized objects can arise within a specific historical and cultural context.
