EDITORS COMMENTS
This ancient Egyptian sculpture, titled "Bound Enemy," hails from the Middle Kingdom-Late Period (2061-1782 BCE). The exact creator of this masterpiece remains unknown, adding to its enigmatic allure. The sculpture, dating back to the 18th century BC, portrays an adversary in a striking and intriguing pose. The enemy is depicted lying on his front, with his hands and feet bound and his head turned to the side. His facial hair, in the form of a full, thick beard, frames his face, giving him an air of regality despite his subdued position. The sculpture is made of plaster and painted in rich, earthy tones, with the brown hue dominating the piece. The close-up perspective offers a detailed view of the intricate textures and patterns of the plaster, as well as the meticulous painting techniques used to bring the figure to life. The enemy's face is expressive, with furrowed brows and a determined look in his eyes, suggesting a fierce and formidable foe. The "Bound Enemy" was once part of the vast artistic heritage of ancient Egypt, and is now a cherished addition to the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's collection. The sculpture's provenance is believed to be from the region of Mizraim, adding to its historical significance. The piece is a testament to the ancient Egyptians' artistic prowess and their ability to capture the essence of their subjects, even in the context of war and conflict. This studio shot offers a rare and intimate glimpse into the world of ancient Egyptian art, inviting us to ponder the stories and histories that lie behind this image.
