EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing horizontal detail of a relief found in the Temple of Hathor, Dendera, Egypt. Dating back to the late Ptolemaic and Roman Periods (c125 BC - c60 AD), this intricate carving depicts none other than Cleopatra VII and her son Caesarion offering prayers to the gods. The Temple of Hathor, dedicated to both Hathor and Horus the Elder, served as a sacred place for worship and devotion. In this remarkable piece of ancient artistry, we witness Cleopatra's regal presence as she stands alongside her young son. The stone relief is adorned with vibrant colors that have remarkably survived through centuries of history. It is an exquisite representation of female power within Egyptian society. The image not only captures the familial bond between mother and child but also reflects their religious beliefs and practices. As they make offerings to the gods depicted in this relief—Horus being one among them—their devotion is palpable. This archaeological artifact serves as a testament to Egypt's rich cultural heritage and its deep-rooted connection with religion. Its detailed craftsmanship speaks volumes about the skillful artisans who created it during a time when art was intertwined with spirituality. Through this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness an intimate moment frozen in stone—a glimpse into the lives of royalty worshipping at one of Egypt's most revered temples.
