EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable artifact from the Egyptian civilization's Old Kingdom, specifically Dynasty V. The statue, crafted meticulously out of Sycamore wood, represents Ka-aper and is famously known as Sheikh el Balad. Hailing from Saqqara in Egypt, this ancient relic exudes an air of mystery and grandeur. Against a striking black background, the sculpture stands tall despite its antiquity and visible signs of damage. Its cracked surface tells tales of time gone by, adding to its allure and historical significance. This studio shot captures every intricate detail with precision. The vertical composition focuses on the head and shoulders of Ka-aper's statue, highlighting the artistry involved in creating such a masterpiece. With no people present in the frame, all attention is drawn towards this extraordinary piece that once held great importance within ancient Egyptian society. Part of Saqqara's rich archaeological heritage dating back to the 5th dynasty during the Old Kingdom era; this image transports us back thousands of years into Egypt's glorious past.
