EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of a Model Lotos Flower from ancient Egypt. Dating back to the Middle Kingdom, Late Dynasty 11 (ca. 2051-1981 B. C), this delicate artifact was discovered in Upper Egypt, specifically at Deir el-Bahri Temple in Thebes. Crafted with meticulous detail using painted and plastered wood, this model lotos flower stands at a height of approximately 4 1/8 inches (10.5 cm). Symbolizing water lilies or lotus flowers, which were commonly found and revered in ancient Egypt, it serves as a testament to their significance as ubiquitous plants and powerful symbols. The flower itself features stunning shades of blue and white, reminiscent of the Nymphaea coerulea alba species. During the night, its petals close up only to gracefully reopen come morning. This reveals a central yellow circle surrounded by radiating yellow petals that add an enchanting touch to its overall appearance. Capturing both the artistry and symbolism behind this ancient Egyptian treasure, this print allows us to appreciate the intricate craftsmanship that has withstood thousands of years. It serves as a reminder of our connection to history and the enduring allure of nature's wonders.
