EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning round-topped stela, dating back to the 19th Dynasty of Ancient Egypt, around 1307-1196 BCE, showcases the intricately carved figure of Khor or Nakht-Khor, an official or scribe, in a kneeling posture, paying homage to the god Mizraim. The limestone stela, which is unpainted and hand-carved, is a testament to the exceptional craftsmanship and artistic skills of the ancient Egyptian artisans. The figure of Khor is depicted with his hands in front of him, possibly indicating an offering or a prayer gesture. His posture and attire reflect his occupation as a scribe or official, with a rolled-up papyrus scroll under his left arm and a palette and a reed pen in his right hand. The stela's round top is adorned with intricate carvings of various religious symbols and hieroglyphs, further emphasizing its religious significance. This magnificent piece of heritage art was discovered and is now on display at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). The close-up image, taken against a white background, allows us to appreciate the fine details and intricacies of the carving, revealing the beauty and complexity of ancient Egyptian art.
