EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Stela of Penboui" a guardian of Deir el-Medina, from Thebes during the New Kingdom era in ancient Egypt. Created by the skilled artisans of the Egyptian 19th Dynasty around 1292-1187 BC, this painted stone masterpiece now resides in the prestigious Louvre Museum in Paris, France. The stela depicts Penboui making offerings to two significant deities: Meretseger and Taweret. Meretseger is known as both the goddess of punishment and mercy, while Taweret symbolizes protection and fertility. This representation highlights Penboui's devotion to these powerful entities. Adorned with intricate relief carvings and hieroglyphics, this funerary artwork provides a glimpse into ancient Egyptian beliefs and customs surrounding death and afterlife. A woman can be seen adoring Isis Hathor on one side of the stela, further emphasizing its religious significance. The offering table prominently featured on this stele signifies Penboui's desire to honor these deities through ritualistic practices. Its inclusion adds depth to our understanding of daily life during the Ramesside period. As an out-of-copyright image captured by Bridgeman Images for Fine Art Finder, this print allows us to appreciate not only its artistic beauty but also its historical value. It serves as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with ancient civilizations and their rich cultural heritage.
