EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of ancient Egyptian craftsmanship - the Gold and lapis lazuli Uraeus of Sesostris II. Dating back to the Middle Kingdom, specifically Dynasty XII, this artifact is a testament to the rich history and artistic prowess of Egyptian civilization. The Uraeus, depicted here in full length, features an intricately designed cobra made entirely out of gold and adorned with lapis lazuli accents. The combination of these precious materials symbolizes royalty and power, as well as divine protection. This stunning representation of an animal deity was discovered at El-Lahun, adding another layer to its historical significance. Photographed against a subtle grey background in a studio setting, the image allows us to appreciate every detail of this exquisite work of art. Its vertical composition emphasizes its grandeur while highlighting the delicate craftsmanship involved in creating such intricate pieces during ancient times. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back thousands of years into Egypt's past. We can't help but marvel at how our ancestors were able to create such masterpieces without modern tools or technology. This single object serves as a window into ancient Egyptian culture and reminds us that their legacy continues to captivate us today.
