EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from ancient Egypt - a wand in the form of a uraeus. The uraeus, symbolizing divine power and protection, was often depicted as a rearing cobra on the headdresses of pharaohs. This particular piece originates from Tomb 5 of the Ramesseum in Thebes, dating back to the Middle Kingdom around 1773-1650 BC. Crafted by skilled Egyptian artisans during the 13th Dynasty, this copper alloy wand measures approximately 7x16 cm. Its intricate design and exquisite metalwork highlight the mastery and attention to detail prevalent in ancient Egyptian artistry. The image captures not only the beauty but also evokes an air of mystery surrounding this magical object. With its serpentine form and association with snakes, reptiles, and wildlife, it is evident that this wand held great significance within religious or mystical practices. Now housed at the prestigious Fitzwilliam Museum at the University of Cambridge in England, this artifact stands as a testament to Egypt's rich cultural heritage. Through its preservation and display for public viewing, we are granted a glimpse into an era long past - one filled with enchantment, spirituality, and reverence for nature's creatures. Bridgeman Images has expertly captured every intricate detail of this extraordinary piece through their lens. This photograph serves as both an educational tool for those interested in ancient civilizations and as a visual delight for admirers of fine art photography.
