EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the ancient Egyptian deity Harpocrates on a lotus flower, carved from limestone. The intricate relief panel depicts the mythological figure in all his divine glory. Harpocrates, often associated with silence and secrecy, is portrayed here as a young boy wearing the traditional Egyptian headdress and holding an ankh symbol of life in one hand. The sculpture beautifully captures the essence of this mythological serpent god, with its attention to detail and lifelike representation of a cobra coiled around Harpocrates' arm. The snake's presence adds an element of mystery and power to the artwork. Displayed at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, UK, this Coptic piece offers us a glimpse into ancient Egyptian culture and beliefs. It serves as a reminder of their reverence for deities like Harpocrates who played significant roles in their mythology. The photograph expertly captures every curve and texture of this remarkable sculpture, allowing viewers to appreciate its artistic value even from afar. Its historical significance combined with its aesthetic appeal makes it a truly captivating piece that continues to fascinate art enthusiasts worldwide.
