EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable relief depicting a striding sphinx, dating back to 1069-715 BC. Crafted from limestone with traces of plaster and pigment, this ancient Egyptian artwork measures 27x26x3 cm and is currently housed in the prestigious Fitzwilliam Museum at the University of Cambridge in the UK. The intricate details of this relief are truly awe-inspiring. The sphinx, an iconic symbol in Egyptian mythology, is depicted confidently striding forward with its majestic lion body and human head adorned with a nemes headcloth. The headcloth features various symbolic elements such as solar royal cobras, heart and windpipe hieroglyphs, a king's sun disk, double ostrich feathers, sema (an emblem of protection), and rams horns. This piece offers us a glimpse into the rich history and artistic prowess of ancient Egypt during the Third Intermediate Period (c. 1069-664 BC). It serves as a testament to their advanced craftsmanship and deep reverence for mythological creatures like the sphinx. Through this print by Bridgeman Images, we can appreciate not only the beauty but also the cultural significance that this relief holds. Its presence in our modern world allows us to connect with an era long gone while marveling at its enduring legacy.
