X-Group culture

A royal crown from the post-Meroitic and pre-Christian period of Nubia. It was found in Ballana by W.B. Emery in tomb 118.[1]

The X-Group Culture (ca. 300-600 AD) was an ancient Nubian civilization that existed in Lower Nubia.[2] Cemetery excavations revealed that the civilization stretched from the Dodekaschoinos in the north to Delgo in the south.
