EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the ancient city of Thebes, now known as Luxor Gornorate in Egypt. It showcases the intricate details of the frescoes found within the Sheikh Abd al-Qurna Necropolis Tomb of Usherhat (TT56), belonging to a royal scribe named Amenhotep II from Dynasty XVIII. The focal point of this image is a mesmerizing scene depicting the presentation of servants. In an act of reverence and conformity, several servants are seen kneeling while others stand tall beside them. This artwork offers a glimpse into the hierarchical structure and authority prevalent during that era. The vertical composition emphasizes the grandeur and scale of this tomb's artwork. A large group of people can be observed, all arranged meticulously in a line, showcasing repetition as well as attention to detail by ancient artisans. As we delve deeper into this piece, it becomes evident that only men are depicted here, shedding light on societal norms and gender roles prevalent at that time. The absence of women adds another layer to our understanding of ancient Egyptian culture. This remarkable artifact provides invaluable insights into both artistry and history from the Old Kingdom period (XVIII Dynasty). Its preservation allows us to connect with our past and appreciate the craftsmanship involved in creating such masterpieces
