EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a fragment of a vase from ancient Egypt, specifically from Deir el-Medina during the Ramesside period of the nineteenth-twentieth dynasty. The hieratic script inscribed on this artifact tells a passage from the intriguing "Ghost Story". Dating back to the 13th-11th century B. C. , this piece is currently housed in Turin's Museo Egizio (Egyptian Museum) in Italy. The image captures the essence of an ancient civilization, transporting us back in time to explore their rich history. With its horizontal composition and studio shot aesthetic, it allows us to focus solely on this single object that holds immense cultural significance. Although incomplete, this artwork exemplifies the skill and craftsmanship of Egyptian artists during the New Kingdom era. Its intricate hieratic script, used for religious and administrative purposes at that time, adds another layer of fascination. With no people present in the frame, we are left with our imagination to fill in the gaps and envision how this vessel would have looked when intact. It serves as a tangible link to ancient Egyptian culture and offers valuable insights into their beliefs and storytelling traditions. As an archaeological artifact dating back over three millennia ago, this photograph reminds us of humanity's enduring curiosity about our past. It invites us to appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its historical significance as we continue unraveling mysteries from one of history's most fascinating civilizations – Ancient Egypt.
