EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from the Old Kingdom era in ancient Egypt. The image captures a model of a servant diligently grinding grain, offering us a glimpse into the daily life and laborious tasks of this bygone civilization. The stone sculpture, dating back to the Egyptian 5th Dynasty (c. 2494-2345 BC), is displayed at the renowned Egyptian National Museum in Cairo, Egypt. This exquisite piece was skillfully crafted to depict an essential aspect of bread and beer production during that time – grinding grains for baking or brewing purposes. Intriguingly, we witness a female servant fully engaged in her work as she kneels before a saddle quern. With focused determination, she meticulously grinds wheat using this traditional tool known as "servante broyant du grain" in French or "sakkara" in Arabic. The attention to detail on this model is truly impressive; it beautifully portrays not only the physical act but also conveys the dedication and importance placed upon such tasks within ancient Egyptian society. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, let us appreciate the invaluable contributions made by countless individuals like this diligent servant who played pivotal roles behind-the-scenes to sustain their communities through food production. Through artistry and craftsmanship, this photograph allows us to connect with our shared human history while honoring those whose efforts often went unnoticed yet were vital for survival.
