EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of Egyptian antiquity: a sculpted wooden group of Nubian archers representing the army of soldiers of Mesehti. Believed to be from the 11th or 12th dynasty, around 2000 BC, this artwork is an extraordinary testament to the rich history and artistic prowess of ancient Egypt. The intricate details carved into the wooden figures are awe-inspiring. Each archer stands tall, holding a lance in one hand and a buckler shield in the other, ready for battle. Their muscular arms and determined expressions depict their strength and courage as they protect their land. Discovered in the tomb of Mesehti in Assiut (also known as Assyut or Asyut), this masterpiece now finds its home at the Cairo Egyptian Museum. It serves as a powerful reminder of Egypt's military might during that era. Luisa Ricciarini expertly captures this timeless artifact through her lens, allowing us to appreciate its beauty even from afar. The photograph perfectly highlights every intricate detail, showcasing not only the skillful craftsmanship but also providing insight into ancient Egyptian culture. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back thousands of years to witness firsthand the magnificence and grandeur that once existed within these lands. It is through such artistry that we can truly comprehend and celebrate our shared human heritage across time and continents.
