EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail of the cover of the mummy of Nesyamun, believed to have been discovered at Deir El-Bahri in ancient Egypt. Created during the New Kingdom period around 1100 BC, this painted wooden masterpiece was crafted by skilled artisans from the Egyptian 20th Dynasty. Nesyamun, an esteemed high priest who served under Ramesses XI's reign, held the prestigious title of Keeper of the Sacred White Bulls at the Temple of Karnak. Adorned with intricate scenes depicting various gods and goddesses, this ornate cover offers a glimpse into Egypt's rich religious beliefs and practices. The divine figures portrayed on this extraordinary artwork include Serket, Re Horakhty, Thoth, Neith, Osiris, Isis, Maat, Ptah Sokar Osiris, and Nephthys. Each deity symbolizes different aspects of Egyptian mythology and spirituality. Preserved within these hieroglyphics lies a profound connection between mortals and immortals - an eternal bond that transcends time itself. The vibrant colors used in this painting bring life to these ancient deities while simultaneously honoring their significance in Egyptian culture. Now housed within Leeds Museums and Art Galleries (Leeds City Museum) in the UK since its acquisition by eLeeds Museums and Galleries; this remarkable artifact continues to captivate audiences worldwide with its timeless beauty and historical importance.
