EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a remarkable piece of ancient Egyptian artistry and mythology. Dating back to the 5th century, this stunning sandstone artifact depicts Horus, the revered deity known as the god of war and protection, mounted on a majestic horse. With unwavering determination, Horus brandishes his weapon in hand - a spear poised to strike its target: a fearsome crocodile. The intricate details carved into this Egyptian masterpiece showcase the skill and craftsmanship of its creator. The vibrant colors adorning the sandstone bring life to this historic scene, transporting us back in time to an era steeped in religious beliefs and cultural significance. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of Egypt's rich heritage and deep-rooted connection with both animals and spirituality. Horses were highly regarded companions during warfare, symbolizing strength and agility. Meanwhile, crocodiles held great symbolism in ancient Egyptian mythology as powerful creatures associated with chaos. This artifact serves as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with divine beings and our desire for protection against adversities. It is through such relics that we gain insight into past civilizations' beliefs while marveling at their artistic achievements. Thanks to Heritage Images for preserving this extraordinary photograph print by CM Dixon from the 20th century – allowing us all to appreciate the beauty of Egypt's history without commercial intentions but rather for educational purposes only.
