EDITORS COMMENTS
This image showcases the Eye from a Coffin, an enigmatic artifact hailing from Ancient Egypt's Late Period (724-333 BCE). The exact creator of this masterpiece remains unknown, adding to its allure. The Eye, a symbol of protection and restoration of sight, is depicted in a striking close-up view, with its black iris contrasting against the grey background. This eye, believed to represent the god Hapi or the goddess Wadjet, was originally inlaid with glass or semi-precious stones. The Eye from a Coffin is a testament to the ancient Egyptians' profound understanding of the human form and their reverence for the senses, particularly sight. The intricately carved detailing and the lifelike texture of the eye convey a sense of intimacy and immediacy, making it a captivating work of art even today. This image, taken in a studio setting, offers a panoramic view, allowing us to appreciate the Eye's beauty in its entirety. The letterbox format emphasizes the verticality and the elongated shape of the coffin eye, further enhancing its mystique. The Eye from a Coffin is currently housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), adding to the rich cultural heritage of the Mizraim (Egyptian) collection. This image serves as a reminder of the enduring allure and influence of ancient Egyptian art, inviting us to explore the depths of human creativity and the mysteries of the past.
