EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the essence of ancient Egyptian civilization with its portrayal of a gold amulet depicting Horus, the falcon-headed god. The amulet was discovered in the Tomb of Governor Djed Khonsu-Iwf-Ankh, located in Bahariya Oasis, Giza. Dating back to Dynasty XXVI, also known as the Late Period, this artifact is a testament to the rich history and spirituality that defined Egypt during that time. The intricate carving and attention to detail showcased in this studio shot highlight the exceptional artistry and craftsmanship of ancient Egyptians. The vertical composition allows us to fully appreciate every aspect of this single object - from Horus' majestic animal head to his male likeness. Horus held great significance in Egyptian mythology and religion; he was revered as a symbol of protection and divine power. This amulet served as both an expression of faith and a talisman for personal safety. Set against a grey background, which accentuates its golden radiance, this photograph transports us back into the past where we can marvel at one of humanity's most fascinating civilizations. It serves as a reminder that even thousands of years later, their legacy continues to captivate our imagination
