EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable relief from the Egyptian Ptolemaic Period, depicting the esteemed figures of Ptolemy VIII Euergetes II (Physkon) and Cleopatra III engaged in a sacred act of offering to the gods. The intricate stone carving, known as XIR226157 Relief, is believed to have adorned the Temple of Sobek and Haroeris in Kom Ombo, Egypt. In this mesmerizing scene, Ptolemy VIII Euergetes II and Cleopatra III stand side by side, exuding regal authority. Their majestic presence is accentuated by their elaborate royal attire; Ptolemy dons the white crown of Upper Egypt while Cleopatra radiates elegance with her queenly garb. The hieroglyphics adorning this relief add an air of mystique and provide valuable insights into ancient Egyptian culture. They serve as a testament to the significance placed on religious rituals during that era. Notably, both figures hold amphoras – vessels used for offerings – symbolizing their devotion to the gods. This votive scene captures a moment frozen in time when these powerful rulers sought divine favor through acts of worship. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' expertise in preserving historical art pieces like this one, we can now appreciate this extraordinary relic from afar. As it falls under public domain rights due to its age, it serves as a window into our rich past without any commercial implications attached.
