EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable detail of an ancient Egyptian stele, transporting us back to the glorious days of the Old Kingdom, specifically Dynasty V. Crafted from black basalt and measuring 43x25 cm, this fragmentary piece is a mould of Palermo Stone that bears inscriptions on both sides. What truly fascinates about this artifact is its inscription - a comprehensive list of the kings who once ruled over ancient Egypt. With meticulous hieroglyphs etched in perfect repetition, it serves as a testament to the complexity and precision of ancient Egyptian art and craft. The horizontal arrangement allows us to appreciate the orderly nature with which these names are presented. As we delve into this photograph's depths, we cannot help but feel awe for the rich history it represents. This studio shot brings forth an air of mystique as we explore an era long gone by; one can almost imagine standing before this very stele in ancient times. The absence of people in this image further accentuates our connection with the past. It invites us to contemplate how such intricate pieces were created without modern technology or tools at their disposal. In essence, through this photo print, Universal Images Group (UIG) offers us a glimpse into ancient Egyptian culture and reminds us that even after centuries have passed, their legacy continues to captivate our imagination.
