EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable model depicting various activities of baking, brewing, and butchering during the Egyptian 12th Dynasty. Crafted from wood, gesso, and paint by skilled artisans of that era, this masterpiece measures 14.5x15.5 cm and is currently housed at the prestigious Ashmolean Museum in the University of Oxford. The scene depicted in this ancient artwork provides us with a fascinating glimpse into the daily life of Egyptians over four thousand years ago. The intricate carvings showcase bakers diligently working on bread-making while brewers are seen engaged in their craft, creating beer - a popular beverage even back then. Additionally, we witness butchers skillfully handling meat as they carry out their essential tasks. The attention to detail exhibited by the sculptor is truly awe-inspiring; every figure carved with precision and care. This wooden model serves as an invaluable artifact for historians and art enthusiasts alike to understand the cultural practices surrounding food production in ancient Egypt. As we admire this extraordinary piece from afar through Bridgeman Images' lens capturing its essence beautifully, let us appreciate not only its artistic value but also its significance in unraveling our past. It reminds us that despite being separated by millennia, our human connection to sustenance remains unbroken – whether it be through baking bread or enjoying a refreshing drink like beer – these activities have transcended time and continue to shape our lives today.
