EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a beautifully carved Shabti figure for Padineith, made of faience during the Late Period of ancient Egypt (715-332 BC). Standing at a height of 15.2 cm, this mummiform figurine is part of a private collection. Shabtis were small statues placed in tombs to assist the deceased in the afterlife. They were believed to come to life and perform any laborious tasks assigned to them by the gods on behalf of their owner. This particular Shabti figure is adorned with intricate hieroglyphics and exhibits exquisite craftsmanship. The rear view reveals the detailed carving and highlights its osiride form, which symbolizes Osiris, the god of resurrection and eternal life in Egyptian mythology. The statuette's purpose was not only functional but also served as an artistic expression capturing the spiritual beliefs and rituals surrounding death. Through this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness an extraordinary piece of Egyptian funerary art. Its presence evokes a sense of wonderment about ancient civilizations' beliefs regarding life after death. This image serves as a reminder that art has always played an essential role in expressing humanity's deepest desires and understanding our place within the cosmos.
