EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of ancient Egyptian art, the "Seated cat" from the 25th-30th Dynasty. Crafted during the Late Period (715-332 BC), this hollow cast bronze sculpture stands at an impressive height of 21.2 cm. The exquisite attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this feline masterpiece. The artist skillfully incorporated a small lapis lazuli scarab, delicately inlaid on the cat's forehead, adding an element of mystique and symbolism to the artwork. The seated posture exudes a sense of regality and tranquility, capturing the essence of cats' revered status in ancient Egyptian culture. Its pectoral collar further emphasizes its significance as a symbol of divinity and protection. The glass paste eyes bring life to this centuries-old artifact, creating an uncanny connection between past and present viewers. As we gaze upon this image captured by eHeini Schneebeli, we are transported back in time to witness the craftsmanship and artistic prowess that defined ancient Egypt. This particular print belongs to a private collection but has been made available for public appreciation through Bridgeman Images. It serves as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with history and our desire to preserve these cultural treasures for generations to come.
