EDITORS COMMENTS
This stela fragment, dating back to the 13th century BC during the 19th or 20th Dynasty of Ancient Egypt, presents a mesmerizing depiction of Queen Ahmose Nefertari in a devotional pose. The fragment, now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), showcases the queen's reverence towards the gods Mizraim and Atum, who were believed to have played significant roles in the founding of the 19th Dynasty. The intricately carved limestone fragment, with its grey background, displays the queen in an elegant and regal posture, her arms outstretched in a gesture of supplication. The hieroglyphics inscribed on the stela reveal the queen's name, title, and the names of the gods she is worshipping. The fragment's close-up perspective invites viewers to appreciate the intricate details of the hieroglyphs and the queen's finely carved features. The artistry of this ancient Egyptian piece is a testament to the sophisticated level of craftsmanship that existed during this period. The use of color, although faded over time, adds depth and dimension to the image, enhancing the overall visual impact of the stela. The fragment's provenance is unknown, adding to the mystery and allure of this ancient work of art. The Stela Fragment Depicting Worship of Queen Ahmose Nefertari is a remarkable piece of heritage art that offers a glimpse into the religious practices and artistic traditions of ancient Egypt.
