EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate and ancient "Book of Amduat of Buiruharmut, with Elements of the Tenth through Twelfth Hours" dating back to 1000-900 BC. This remarkable piece of funerary equipment from late Dynasty 21 or early Dynasty 22 in Egypt is a testament to the rich heritage and artistic prowess of that era. The papyrus scroll, now housed in The Cleveland Museum of Art, offers a glimpse into the mystical world beyond death as believed by ancient Egyptians during the Third Intermediate Period. Its origins remain shrouded in mystery, adding an air of intrigue to this already fascinating artifact. The detailed illustrations within this book depict various stages and elements from the tenth through twelfth hours after sunset.

Heritage Art/Heritage Images has masterfully captured every delicate stroke and vibrant color present in this extraordinary relic. The print allows viewers to appreciate not only its historical significance but also marvel at the skillful craftsmanship employed by ancient Egyptian artisans.
